How to add a legend for two geom layers in one ggp

问题:

I've got a data frame that looks like this:

glimpse(spottingIntensityByMonth)
# Observations: 27
# Variables: 3
# $ yearMonth <dttm> 2015-05-01, 2015-06-01, 2015-07-01, 2015-08-01, 2015-09-01, 2015-10-01, 2...
# $ nClassificationsPerDayPerSpotter <dbl> 3.322581, 13.212500, 13.621701,
    6.194700, 18.127778, 12.539589, 8.659722, ...
# $ nSpotters <int> 8, 8, 22, 28, 24, 22, 24, 27, 25, 29, 32, 32, 21, 14, 18, 13, 20, 19, 15, ...

I am trying to plot it with ggplot2 like so:

ggplot() + 
    geom_col(data = spottingIntensityByMonth, 
             mapping = aes(x = yearMonth, 
                           y = nClassificationsPerDayPerSpotter)
             ) + 
    xlab("Month of year") + 
    scale_y_continuous(name = "Daily classifications per Spotter") + 
    geom_line(data = spottingIntensityByMonth, 
              mapping = aes(x = yearMonth,
                            y = nSpotters)
              ) +
    theme_bw()

This produces a plot like so:

Now I want to add a legend that says what the line and columns mean. How do I do this? Thanks!

In ggplot, legends are automatically created for mapped aesthetics. You can add such mappings as follows:

ggplot(data = df, 
       mapping = aes(x = x)) + 

  # specify fill for bar / color for line inside aes(); you can use
  # whatever label you wish to appear in the legend
  geom_col(aes(y = y.bar, fill = "bar.label")) +
  geom_line(aes(y = y.line, color = "line.label")) +

  xlab("Month of year") + 
  scale_y_continuous(name = "Daily classifications per Spotter") + 

  # the labels must match what you specified above
  scale_fill_manual(name = "", values = c("bar.label" = "grey")) +
  scale_color_manual(name = "", values = c("line.label" = "black")) +

  theme_bw()

In the above example, I've also moved the data & common aesthetic mapping (x) to ggplot().

Sample dataset:

set.seed(7)
df <- data.frame(
  x = 1:20,
  y.bar = rpois(20, lambda = 5),
  y.line = rpois(20, lambda = 10)
)

This solution is aimed at plotting 2 curves from 1 data frame. One column data is plotted as line graph against the x-axis (Observation Date) and the other is plotted as Area Graph against the same x-axis(Observation Date). Area Curve will be on secondary y-axis. The Legend plotting and Formatting are also shown in the images attached. Hope you enjoy the solution.

Data Frame structure will look like as follows: This is a sample of the whole dataset, I will pick 2 columns, obsdate, revenue, and value

I am using Shiny library to host it on a server; if you don't know about shiny you may ignore, this is just the layout~HTML.

library(xlsx) # Library for Excel import library (ggplot2) # Library for plot library(openxlsx) #FOR Running the xlsx file library(shiny) #SERVER UI LIBRARY IN R library(lubridate) # For converting the imported dates to Date Format

file <- "C:/Users/Nikhil Asati/Desktop/Office/Bicurve_data.xlsx"
data1<- read.xlsx( file ,1)
data1$obsdate <- dmy(data1$obsdate)

ui <- fluidPage(
  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel(),
    mainPanel(
      plotOutput("Plot")
    )
  )
)
server <- function(input, output) {
  output$Plot <- renderPlot({
    #plot value
    p <- ggplot(data1, aes(x=obsdate))
        p <- p + geom_line(aes(y=revenue, colour ="revenue"))
    #plot revenue
        p <- p + geom_ribbon(aes(ymin = 0, ymax=value/16, fill = 'value'),  
                             linetype=1,     
                             #solid, dashed or other line types
                             colour="grey70",
                             #border line color
                             size=1
                             # ,show.legend= TRUE
        )
         p <- p + scale_y_continuous(sec.axis = sec_axis(~.*16, name = "value"))

         p<- p + scale_colour_manual("", values=c("revenue" = "Grey" ))
         p<- p +scale_fill_manual(name = "", values = c("value" = "green"))
         p<- p +theme(legend.position = "top") 
         p
  })

}


shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server) 

Output will be

Output Curve
