I am just learning to use qplot and can't get the fill/colour to work. Below is the R code for a scatter plot and bar graph.
library(ggplot2) x<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7) y<-c(1,2,3,2,5,6,3) qplot(x,y, main="Scatter Plot Test", xlab="X Label Test", ylab="Y Label Test", colour="blue")z<-c("van", "van", "van", "car", "car", "truck", "truck", "truck", "truck", "van", "van") qplot(z, main="Bar Graph Test", ylab="Vehichle Count", xlab="Vehicle Category", fill="blue") If I set fill=z, then I can get something different, i.e. three preselected colors are used, but what if I want all three bars to just be blue instead of the default? I am having the same issue if I try to use colour. How do I change the default color to blue instead of black. Second question what exactly is the difference between colour and fill? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/qplot-fill-and-colour-not-working-as-expected-tp3576949p3576949.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
