To answer two of my own questions to get them into the archives (I am slowly getting the hang of ggplot):
Q1. use "opts(axis.text.x = theme_text(size=xx))" to change font size of the bar labels: library(ggplot2) set.seed(5) dat <- sample(1:8,100,replace=TRUE) smp <- ggplot(data.frame(dat), aes(x=factor(dat),fill=factor(dat))) + geom_bar(width=1) + opts(axis.text.x = theme_text(size = 18)) smp + coord_polar() Q3. calculate the frequencies themselves and use stat="identity" inside the aes call: L <- table(dat) L.df <- data.frame(L) L.df <- cbind(L.df, "SQRrelFreq" = sqrt(L.df[,2]/sum(L.df[,2]))) smp2 <- ggplot(L.df, aes(x=dat,y=SQRrelFreq, stat="identity", fill=dat)) + geom_bar(width=1) + opts(axis.text.x = theme_text(size = 18)) smp2 + coord_polar() Cheers, Tim >>> Tim Howard 3/9/2010 9:25 AM >>> Dear R gurus - consider this plot: library(ggplot2) dat <- sample(1:8,100,replace=TRUE) smp <- ggplot(data.frame(dat), aes(x=factor(dat),fill=factor(dat))) + geom_bar(width=1) smp + coord_polar() Q1. How do I change the font size and weight of bar labels (1,2,3...)? I've been wallowing in the 'Themes' structure and I just can't figure out the correct place to change the definitions. Along these same lines, what does 'strip' mean when referring to strip text? Q2. How can I move the legend defining bar height into the plot, so that it overlays the lines they refer to? Consider the same figure using Circstats: library(CircStats) dat.rad <- (dat*((2*pi)/8)) -(2*pi)/16 rose.diag(dat.rad, bins = 8) #note the origin is to the right rather than on top Q3. The key difference is that CircStats uses an area-based calculation for the size of each slice, which makes for a different presentation than ggplot2. Any suggestions on how to use this calculation method in the ggplot framework? Thanks in advance for your help.
