Dear Jason,
Have a look at scale_y_continuous() and scale_fill_discrete(). This might work
(untested as your example is not reproducible with a (dummy) dataset).
qplot(Age, data = recerts_combined_values, binwidth = 5, fill =
combined_values$Test.Type, main="Combined Age Histogram") +
scale_x_continuous("Age, months") + scale_y_continuous("Counts") +
scale_fill_discrete("Type of Tests")
HTH,
Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than
asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the
experiment died of.

Onderwerp: Re: [R] R Stacked Histogram
Great advice. I did a quick read and came up with the following:
qplot(Age, data = recerts_combined_values, binwidth = 5,
fill = combined_values$Test.Type,
ylab="Counts", xlab="Age, months",
main="Combined Age Histogram",
legend.name = "Type of Tests")
Unfortunatley, here is a description of the results:
(1) the "main" title font size by default is too large and is clipped by the
image (guess I need to figure out how to fix this),
(2) ylab appears to fail - it does not replace the default "count" label - what
should I do to fix this?
(3) like (2), neither using "legend.name" nor "legend.title" appears to
replace/change the name of the legend title/name.
By any chance can you provide some advice for tackeling these items? These are
probably due to me being a noobie on the ggplot2 package.
Thanks again.

The best place to start is the qplot chapter of the ggplot2 book -
