I've data set with three columns as below
data_sample<-data.frame(value=c(-3,-2,-1,-0.9,-1.25,1.0,2.1,1.9,1.2,1.5),
BP=c(1000,2000,5000,8000,10000),variable=c(rep("overall_diff_cases",5),rep("overall_diff_controls",5)))
where BP is base pair, for each position, there's value in variable column: overall_diff_controls and overall_diff_cases. I'm interested in creating a geom_line
ggplot
graph using these points.
ggplot(data_sample, aes(x=BP, y=value, group =variable,color=variable)) +
scale_fill_manual(values= c("overall_diff_cases"="#9633FF" ,"overall_diff_controls"="#E2FF33")) + geom_line(size=1.2)
If I use the above code, ggplot creates plot with default color. I tried with color code (non hexa decimal)
scale_fill_manual(values= c("overall_diff_cases" = "red" , "overall_diff_controls" = "black"))
I tried setting up setNames
but in vain:
ggplot(data_sample, aes(x=BP, y=value, group = variable,color=variable)) +
scale_fill_manual(values=setNames(c("overall_diff_cases","overall_diff_controls"), c( "black","red"))) +
geom_line(size=1.2)
How do I set the colors of my interests? The data format needs to stay as shown in the same data frame.
Try this:
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data_sample, aes(x=BP, y=value,
group =variable,color=variable)) +
scale_color_manual(values= c("overall_diff_cases"="#9633FF" ,
"overall_diff_controls"="#E2FF33")) + geom_line(size=1.2)
Output:
With scale_color_manual()
you can set the colors you want.
