I am plotting some data from a test that was repeated pre and post an intervention. As such I would like to plot the results on the same figure with error bars. As the error bars of the two trials cross, making it difficult to decipher, I would like to plot the error bars upwards only for the post test and downwards only for the pre test. Is this possible in ggplot2?
Example code:
library("ggplot2")
set.seed(1)
dat <- data.frame(Trial = c(rep("Pre",9),rep("Post",9)),
Time = rep.int(seq(0,120,15),2),
Insulin = c(rnorm(9,15,2),rnorm(9,22,2)),
Insulin_sd = c(rnorm(18,3,1)))
p3 <- ggplot(data = dat, aes(x = Time, y = Insulin, group = Trial))+
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin = Insulin - Insulin_sd, ymax = Insulin + Insulin_sd,linetype = Trial), width = 4) +
geom_line(aes(linetype = Trial)) +
geom_point(aes(shape= Trial, fill = Trial), size = 2) +
scale_shape_manual(values=c(21,24),guide = guide_legend(reverse = TRUE)) +
scale_fill_manual(values=c("black","white"),guide = guide_legend(reverse = TRUE)) +
scale_linetype_manual(values = c("solid","dashed"),guide = guide_legend(reverse = TRUE)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits= c(0,35))

Any help greatly appreciated.
