Am trying to produce a graph which prints out well in black and white using ggplot2. I have the following example set up nicely, but want to shade the red bars in one pattern and the blue in another so they print out clearly. I tried changing colours to 1 light, 1 dark, but then the overlapping colour looks virtually identical to the darker one. I noted the option density in barplot, but couldn't get this to work in ggplot. I could just replot this as density plots using kernel smoothing, but quite like this format for the data I have. Any help much appreciated.
library(ggplot2) xy<-data.frame(x=c(rnorm(1000), rnorm(1000,2,1)), grp=as.factor(rep(1:2, each=1000))) ggplot(xy, aes(x=x, fill=grp, group=grp)) + geom_histogram(binwidth=0.5,colour="black",position = "identity", alpha = 0.5) + scale_fill_manual(values = c("red", "blue")) -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Patterned-shading-in-ggplot-tp26193795p26193795.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.
