Hi Hadley,

That solved a lot of problems.  Thanks!

Do you get a vertically oriented bar? Here I get 15 bars with a space where the north bar, the 16th bar, should be.

All the best,
Tom

Hi Thomas,

Ok, the key thing that you were missing was:

scale_x_continuous(limits = c(0, 360))

Since you don't have any data at 0, and because ggplot2 doesn't know
that your variable had intrinsic meaning as a degree, it was starting
zero degrees at 22.5.

A few other tweaks below:

wind.data$wind <- factor(wind.data$wind,
 c("calm", "< 3", "4 - 12", "13 - 24", "> 25"))

ggplot(wind.data, aes(x = degree, y = time, fill = wind)) +
 xlab(NULL) + ylab(NULL) +
 geom_bar(stat = "identity", aes(width = 22.5)) +
 scale_x_continuous(limits = c(0, 360), breaks = c(0, 90, 180, 270)) +
 coord_polar() +
 scale_fill_brewer(pal = "Blues")

Regards,

Hadley

Aloha Hadley,

Thanks very much for ggplot. It's a terrific piece of work. Specifying width = 1 in the call to geom_bar didn't change the orientation of the coordinates. If you run the example, you'll see that 100 is horizontal,
where 90 would be on the compass.

Here is a reproducible example. The data are shown here as the results of evaluating the read-data source code block, displayed as an Org- mode table.
 A csv file is also attached (if it makes it through the list).

Hi Thomas,

I suspect you want  geom_bar(stat = "identity", width = 1), but it's
hard to be sure without a reproducible example.

Aloha all,

I love using ggplot.  It took a while to get used to the grammar of
graphics, but it is starting to get easy now that I am thinking in a
more structured way.

A question. I'm making a wind rose that I'd like to be oriented with
due north straight up.  I've discovered that the orientation is
sensitive to how north is represented. When north is represented as 0, the orientation looks to be shifted just a bit counter- clockwise,
perhaps 10 degrees.  When north is represented as 360, the plot is
shifted clockwise, but past the point where north is straight up. How
to get north straight up?

I've read the book (very nice) and have skimmed through the
documentation without finding what I need. Any help much appreciated.

Here is the code from my Org-babel session:

#+begin_src R :session
 library(ggplot2)
 wind.data <- read.csv("pmrf_windrose_info_new.csv")
 wind <- ggplot(wind.data, aes(x = degree, y = time, fill = wind))
 wind.bar <- wind + geom_bar(stat = "identity")
 wind.bar + coord_polar()
#+end_src

All the best,
Tom
