I am trying to tweak a few thematic elements in a ggplot2 figure. My three questions/goals for this multi-layered figure are (code for data follows at end):
- Create a x-axis tick mark label for all eight year, i.e., 2004-2011. I do not want a 'xlab' though.
- Remove the two filled dots from the "Infected Stems" legend b/c these "geom_bars" should not have dots associated with them (???).
- Change the Legend Title for the lines/points legend to "SOD-dead Stems".
My code is probably redundant to many of you, so feel free to provide suggestions anywhere, such as having only a single legend. I am new to ggplot (like it) but have trouble with "scales" thus far....
MY CODE FOR FIGURE:
##### BUILD UP DATAFRAME:
quag.infect= c(31, 52, 58, 74, 76, 85, 99, 102)
quke.infect= c(10, 13, 17, 20, 23, 27, 28, 27)
qusp.hosts = (rep(c("QUAG", "QUKE"), each=8))
year = rep(2004:2011, 2)
quag.dead = c(NA, 4, 11, 19, 33, 38, 48, 49)
quke.dead = c(NA, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 7, 8)
my.df = data.frame(Species=qusp.hosts, Year=year,
Inf.ct = c(quag.infect, quke.infect), Sod.Dead=c(quag.dead, quke.dead))
##### Establish grey colors for bars:
grays = c(QUAG="gray50", QUKE="gray66")
##### Make multi-layered graphic:
library(ggplot2)
plot_x = ggplot(my.df, aes(Year, Inf.ct, fill=Species)) +
geom_bar(stat="identity", position="dodge") +
ylab(expression("Number of stems (dbh">="1-cm)", sep="")) +
xlab("") +
scale_fill_manual(values=grays, "Infected Stems", labels = c("Black Oak", "Coast Live Oak")) +
geom_line(aes(y=Sod.Dead, linetype=Species)) +
geom_point(aes(y=Sod.Dead, shape=Species))
plot_x
