Dear Sock, I'm wondering if that mean_sdl function is return what you are expecting. I would calculate the statistics outside ggplot.
RibbonData <- ddply(dat.less, "Day", function(x){ mean(x$Y) + c(ymin = -1, ymax = 1) * sd(x$Y) }) p + stat_summary(data=dat.less, aes(group=1), geom="crossbar", fun.data="mean_sdl", mult=1) + geom_ribbon(data = RibbonData, aes(group = 1, ymin = ymin, ymax = ymax), fill=alpha("blue", 1/10)) HTH, Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ir.

The summary info is based on a subset of the original data (eg. less an outlier). But I'm having trouble getting the ribbons to show up correctly. It's probably something obvious that I'm missing as a novice at ggplot2, and any help is much appreciated! Here's a simple example. I tried several things. - if I use geom=crossbar, everything is ok - if Day is set as rep(c(1,2,3,8,9), each=8), then everything is ok, which makes me wonder if the problem has to do with the ordering of Day? Day is supposed to be numeric. Thanks! Sock ### Example data. Ran using R version 2.9.2, ggplot2 version 0.8.3 ### set.seed(13) Day <- rep(c(1, 2, 3, 8, 20), each=8) # The plot is ok if Day <- rep(c(1,2,3,8,9), each=8) ID <- rep(LETTERS[1:8], 5) Y <- rnorm(length(Day), 100, 5) dat <- data.frame(Day=Day, ID=ID, Y=Y) # outlier dat$Y[dat$ID=="A" & dat$Day==8] <- 150 dat.less <- dat[!(dat$ID=="A" & dat$Day==8),] # Longitudinal data plot. Obs for each subject is connected by a line over time p <- ggplot(dat, aes(x=Day, y=Y, group=ID)) + scale_x_continuous(breaks=sort(unique(dat$Day))) + geom_line(colour=alpha("blue", 5/10)) # Adding mean, 1 sd bounds using crossbar geom is ok. But the same info using ribbon geom doesn't work. p + stat_summary(data=dat.less, aes(group=1), geom="crossbar", fun.data="mean_sdl", mult=1) + stat_summary(data=dat.less, aes(group=1), geom="ribbon", fun.data="mean_sdl", mult=1, fill=alpha("blue", 1/10)) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
