I have created a 4*2 experiment design(4 treatments and 2 repeats of each treatment) and wanted to use 4 shapes and 2 colors symbols to classify the 4*2 experiments in ggplot2. I have two legends, one for shapes and the other one for two colors, and I want to combine the two legends into a single legend. I have searched the post(Combine legends for color and shape into a single legend), but still have no idea to solve the problem. Thank you in advance!
My data:
x y Treatment Repeat
75.74907227 73.6 A 1
236.4477148 242.8 A 2
93.88145508 98.5 B 1
66.58028809 67.1 B 2
53.54458984 55.2 C 1
32.34567383 31.9 C 2
210.5494727 201.2520117 D 1
497.5761328 532.715625 D 2
My code:
library("ggplot2")
p<-ggplot(hg,aes(hg$x,hg$y))
p<-p+geom_point(stat = "identity",size=3,aes(shape=factor(hg$Treatment),
colour=factor(hg$Repeat)))+
scale_shape_manual(name="Treatment",values = c(0, 1, 2, 5),
labels=c("A","B","C","D")) +
scale_colour_manual(name="Repeat",values = c("red","darkgreen"),labels=c("1","2")) +
ggtitle("hg")+
coord_equal()+
scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 750, 50), limits = c(0, 750),expand = c(0, 0)) +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 750, 50), limits = c(0, 750),expand = c(0, 0)) +
theme_bw() +
theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
legend.position=c(0.85,0.3))+
geom_abline(intercept = 0, slope = 1,
colour = "red",size=0.5,show_guide = FALSE)
p
If you notice in the linked question,
group2
is a combination of the two groups that were combined in the legend. You need to do the same. Also, you need to make sure the labels are the same betweenscale_shape_manual
andscale_colour_manual
.
