Dear R-users,
i encountered some problems when trying to adjust the line width of the
axes and stripes in a plot created with ggplot2.
I use the "barley" dataset of the lattice package to illustrate my problem:
library(ggplot2)
library(lattice)
barley[["SD"]] <- 5
limits <- aes(ymax=barley$yield + barley$SD,ymin=barley$yield - barley$SD)
p1 <- ggplot(barley,aes(fill=year,y=yield,x=variety))
p2 <- p1 + geom_bar(position="dodge",stat="identity")
dodge <- position_dodge(width=0.9)
p3 <- p2 + geom_errorbar(limits,position=dodge,width=0.5,size=0.7)
p4 <- p3 + facet_wrap(~site,ncol=2)
p5 <- p4+theme_bw(base_size=16)
p5
last_plot() + opts(panel.grid.minor=theme_blank()) # deletes the minor grid
lines
## Now i would like to increase the width of all remaining lines (bottom,
left, top, right border of all panels and stripes) in the plot, as a
certain minimum lines width is required by many journals
last_plot() +
opts(panel.grid.major=theme_line(colour="darkgrey",size=0.71))
# that works fine
last_plot() + opts(panel.border=theme_rect(colour="black",size=0.71))
# that only changes the bottom and right border of the panel
last_plot() +
opts(strip.background=theme_rect(colour="black",fill="grey90",size=0.71))
# that only changes the bottom and right border of the stripes
last_plot() + opts(axis.line=theme_segment(size=0.71))
# trying to increase the line width of the left border of the panel, i.e.
the y-axis,
# however, that changes only the y-axis of the left column of panels, not
of the right column
Thanks for any hints on how to increase the line width of the borders of
panels and stripes in this plot!
