Hi there, I am trying to create a violin plot with ggplot2 (which looks awesome by the way). I am probably not understanding the code correctly by this is what I am trying (this works if you want to copy and paste it in R)
library(ggplot2) p <- rep(c(rep("condition_a", 4), rep("condition_b", 4)), 2) q <- c(rep("grp_1", 8), rep("grp_2", 8)) r <- sample(1:5, 16, rep = T) d <- data.frame(p, q, r) gg1 <- ggplot(d, aes(y=r, x=factor(p))) gg2 <- gg1 + geom_ribbon(aes(ymax = ..density.., ymin = -..density..), stat = "density") + facet_grid(q ~ ., as.table = F, scales = "free_y") + labs(x = "some x desc", y = "some y desc") print(gg2) The result I am getting is posted as an image at http://awesomescreenshot.com/0e8ae8c52 (I tried to draw what I would like to achieve.) What I would like to achieve instead is the equivalent of this using ggplot2 library(lattice) bwplot( r ~ p | q, data=d, panel = panel.violin ) What I want is to draw traditional violin plots grouping them by grp_1, grp_2 etc (so q above). For each group I have two conditions (p above) which I want to plot violin plots for their values. I want the plots to be vertical (as drawn in red in my image). Any ideas on how to change the above ggplot2 code to do just that? I have been playing with facet_grid all day... Also the values on the axis are incorrect ... they should be in the range 1:5 (as r above) and a plot should show the probability density of that value... Any help? I am going mad... Many Thanks JP ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
