Hi,
With ggplot2 I can use the following to create a rectangle
geom_rect(aes(ymin=as.Date("8-Apr-2014", format="%d-%b-%Y"),
ymax=as.Date("30-Apr-2014", format="%d-%b-%Y"),
xmin="node002",xmax="node098"),
where the x values are levels of a factor. This works if I want the
rectangle to extend across a range of factor level. My question is this:
How can I create a similar rectangle around a single factor level?
My assumption is that I should be able to convert the factor to a
numerical value. I could then subtract and add a smaller number to
obtain xmin and xmax, respectively. However, I don't know how to
convert the factor level to a value which corresponds to its
x-coordinate on the plot.
I posted a longer version of this question on StackOverflow with the
full code, input data, and a plot of the output:

Unfortunately, I didn't get an answer.
Cheers,
Loris
