There are two types of bar charts: geom_bar()
and geom_col()
.
geom_bar()
makes the height of the bar proportional to the number of
cases in each group (or if the weight
aesthetic is supplied, the sum
of the weights). If you want the heights of the bars to represent values
in the data, use geom_col()
instead. geom_bar()
uses stat_count()
by
default: it counts the number of cases at each x position. geom_col()
uses stat_identity()
: it leaves the data as is.
gf_col(
object = NULL,
gformula = NULL,
data = NULL,
...,
alpha,
color,
fill,
group,
linetype,
linewidth,
xlab,
ylab,
title,
subtitle,
caption,
geom = "col",
stat = "identity",
position = "stack",
show.legend = NA,
show.help = NULL,
inherit = TRUE,
environment = parent.frame()
)
When chaining, this holds an object produced in the earlier portions of the chain. Most users can safely ignore this argument. See details and examples.
A formula with shape y ~ x
.
Faceting can be achieved by including |
in the formula.
A data frame with the variables to be plotted.
Additional arguments. Typically these are
(a) ggplot2 aesthetics to be set with attribute = value
,
(b) ggplot2 aesthetics to be mapped with attribute = ~ expression
, or
(c) attributes of the layer as a whole, which are set with attribute = value
.
Opacity (0 = invisible, 1 = opaque).
A color or a formula used for mapping color.
A color for filling, or a formula used for mapping fill.
Used for grouping.
A linetype (numeric or "dashed", "dotted", etc.) or a formula used for mapping linetype.
A numerical line width or a formula used for mapping linewidth.
Label for x-axis. See also gf_labs()
.
Label for y-axis. See also gf_labs()
.
Title, sub-title, and caption for the plot.
See also gf_labs()
.
A character string naming the geom used to make the layer.
A character string naming the stat used to make the layer.
Either a character string naming the position function used for the layer or a position object returned from a call to a position function.
A logical indicating whether this layer should be included in
the legends. NA
, the default, includes layer in the legends if any
of the attributes of the layer are mapped.
If TRUE
, display some minimal help.
A logical indicating whether default attributes are inherited.
An environment in which to look for variables not found in data
.
a gg object
Positional attributes (a.k.a, aesthetics) are specified using the formula in gformula
.
Setting and mapping of additional attributes can be done through the
use of additional arguments.
Attributes can be set can be set using arguments of the form attribute = value
or
mapped using arguments of the form attribute = ~ expression
.
In formulas of the form A | B
, B
will be used to form facets using
facet_wrap()
or facet_grid()
.
This provides an alternative to
gf_facet_wrap()
and
gf_facet_grid()
that is terser and may feel more familiar to users
of lattice.
Evaluation of the ggplot2 code occurs in the environment of gformula
.
This will typically do the right thing when formulas are created on the fly, but might not
be the right thing if formulas created in one environment are used to create plots
in another.
