Low, med high colors for deciles in ggplot

问题:

I want to have a polygon type of spatial plots using ggplot. In which, polygons are plotted and color of polygons are decided by its weight.

Sample data frame look like - (here is the data file CompleteDataFile)

    polyNr   x   y   centroidX   centroidY   weight

My steps are -

1. Divide the whole data set into deciles as

   breaks=unique(quantile(df$weight,probs=seq(0,1,by=0.1))) df$deciles = cut(df$weight,breaks=breaks,include.lowest=TRUE)

2. color scale ( I want to have positive numbers as red and negative as green)

   library(RColorBrewer) colours=brewer.pal(name="RdYlGn", n=nlevels(df$deciles)) names(colours)=rev(levels(df$deciles))

3. plot

   library(ggplot2) ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=y)) + geom_polygon(aes(group=polyNr,fill=factor(deciles))) + scale_fill_manual(values=colours)

This gives me a plot - look like -

But, my other requirement is - I want to have zero as white. In general, I can do this using

scale_fill_gradient2(low = muted("green"), mid = "white", high = muted("red"), midpoint = 0,)

But, I can't not use it with my discrete scale.

So first, Is that possible ? If yes, how can I get the low high mid colors along with decile scales. If this is duplicate question please locate the original question which I have missed.

P.S. - I am using the same code for different dataset, thus, setting manual color scale is not preferable.

EDIT -

For the color settings (red,white,green) I tried colorRampPalette also. (Thanks to @ Pewi for pointing out)

colours = colorRampPalette(c("red", "white", "green"))(11)

This give me the following plot.

Still setting of white color for zero weight is a major problem. I encountered the same issue in base package also.

回答1:

I interpret your question as "how do I create n colours ranging from x to y passing through white". One answer to that question would be to use the function colorRampPalettefrom package grDevices

library(grDevices)

colours <- colorRampPalette(c("red", "white", "green"))(n = 21)

plot(1:21, col=colours,pch=18,cex=4)

If you replace your part 2 with something similar you will probably be able to get the desired output.

Edit:

I am afraid this won't be very elegant but bear with me.

#sim data
dat = data.frame(x =-3:9)

#cut into deciles
dat$y = cut(dat$x,breaks=quantile(dat$x,seq(0,1,0.1)),include.lowest = T)

#Find in wich decile the value closest to zero is
dat$part = as.numeric(dat$y) <= as.numeric(dat$y[which(abs(0-dat$x)==min(abs(dat$x-0)))])

#split color range into two parts
highcolours <- colorRampPalette(c("red","white"))(n = sum(dat$part==TRUE))
lowcolours <- colorRampPalette(c("white","green"))(n = sum(dat$part==FALSE)+1)

#combine colors
cols = c(highcolours,lowcolours)

#both high and low contain midpoint (white) remove one of them
cols = cols[!duplicated(cols)]

#Example 
plot(1:nrow(dat), col=cols ,pch=18,cex=4)

回答2:

Here is finally what I did.

df = read.table("sampleData.txt",header=T) breaks=unique(quantile(df$weight,probs=seq(0,1,by=0.1))) df$deciles = cut(df$weight,breaks=breaks,include.lowest=TRUE) df$part = as.numeric(df$deciles) <= as.numeric(df$deciles[which(abs(0-df$weight)==min(abs(df$weight-0)))])

After this step, I can not just have as many as colors as data points. Thus I divided into color scale in the ratio of df$part

highCols = round (sum(df$part==FALSE)*10/(sum(df$part==FALSE)+sum(df$part==TRUE)))
lowCols = 10 - highCols
highColours = colorRampPalette(c("red","darkred"))(n = highCols)
lowColours = colorRampPalette(c("darkgreen","green","white"))(n=lowCols)
cols = c(lowColours,highColours)
cols = cols[!duplicated(cols)]
ggplot(df,aes(x=x,y=y)) + geom_polygon(aes(group=polyNr,fill=factor(deciles))) + scale_fill_manual(values=cols)

This give me the plot --

Though, the plot is fine still, for longer term I will prefer to have more direct method if possible. Thanks.
