gganimate time series and two line plot


following the source code Here. I am trying to replicate it with my data. I have a time-series of data, where I'm plotting active and non-active number on the y-axis. here is my sample data structure:

df <- tibble::tribble(
  ~Date, ~active, ~non_active,
      1,                 848,             335,
      2,                 998,             280,
      3,                1096,             308,
      4,                1127,             274,
      5,                1022,             313,
      6,                 973,             351,
      7,                1131,             302,

  )

I am stumped on how to create the second line tracker for the lower line. What am I am missing here? your feedback/help would be appreciated!

My code:

library(gganimate)
library(dplyr)
library(tibbletime)
library(gifski)
library(ggplot2)
library(png)

p <- ggplot(df, aes(Date, active)) +
  geom_line(aes(y = active)) +
  geom_line(aes(y = non_active))+
  geom_segment(aes(xend = 15, yend = active), linetype = 2, colour = 'blue') +
  geom_segment(aes(xend = 15, yend = non_active), linetype = 2, colour = 'red') +
  geom_point(size = 3) + 
  geom_text(aes(x = 15.1, label = active ), hjust = 0) +
  transition_reveal(Date) + 
  # labs(title = "Date: {frame_time}") +
  view_follow(fixed_y = TRUE)+
  coord_cartesian(clip = 'off') + 
  labs(title = 'Active in Jan', y = 'Individual Active') +
  enter_drift(x_mod = -1) + exit_drift(x_mod = 1) +
  theme_bw() +
  theme(
    panel.border = element_blank(),
    panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
    panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
    axis.line = element_line(colour = "black")
  )+
  # theme_minimal() +
  theme(plot.margin = margin(5.5, 40, 5.5, 5.5))

animate(p, fps=5)

Solution

  • First, you need to stack the active and non_active variables of df and then to create a group variable grp (a factor with two categories):

    df2 <- data.frame(Date=rep(df$Date, 2), 
                      act_noact=c(df$active, df$non_active), 
                      grp=rep(c("Active","Non active"), each=nrow(df)))
    

    Then, you can plot the animated plot using the new df2 dataframe with the following code:

    p <- ggplot(df2, aes(x=Date, y=act_noact, group=grp)) +
      geom_line() +
      geom_segment(aes(xend=max(Date), yend = act_noact), linetype=2, colour='blue') +
      geom_point(size = 3) + 
      geom_text(aes(x = max(Date)+.1, label = sprintf("%5.0f", act_noact)), hjust=0) +
      transition_reveal(Date) + 
      view_follow(fixed_y = TRUE)+
      coord_cartesian(clip = 'off') + 
      labs(title = 'Active in Jan', y = 'Individual Active') +
      enter_drift(x_mod = -1) + exit_drift(x_mod = 1) +
      theme_bw() +
      theme(panel.border = element_blank(),
            panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
            panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
            axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
            plot.margin = margin(5.5, 40, 5.5, 5.5))
        
    animate(p, fps=5)
