I am plotting a raster and overlaying it with two polygons. I want to plot legends for each shapefile separately (i.e., Buffer zones legend and one legend for each polygon). I used show.legend = TRUE
inside geom_path
but it's not giving me what I want. I am using this code.
gplot(pfiles) +
geom_raster(aes(fill = factor(value))) +
geom_path(data=ward, aes(long, lat, group=group), color = "black") +
geom_path(data=buffer, aes(long, lat, group=group), color = "red") +
facet_wrap(~ variable, ncol = 4) +
scale_fill_manual(values = c("darkorchid", "chartreuse3", "cornflowerblue", "goldenrod2"),
na.value="transparent", na.translate = F) +
guides(fill = guide_legend(title = "Buffer Zones")) +
#scale_color_identity(guide = "legend") +
theme_bw() +
theme(axis.text = element_blank(), legend.position = "right", legend.direction = "vertical",
axis.title = element_blank(),
legend.key.height = unit(2, "cm"), legend.key.width = unit(1, "cm"),
legend.title = element_text(size = 22, face = "bold"), legend.text = element_text(size = 20),
strip.text = element_text(size = 18, face = "bold"),
plot.title = element_text(size = 20, face = "bold"),
plot.subtitle = element_text(size = 15), plot.caption = element_text(size = 12, face = "bold.italic"),
panel.background = element_rect(fill = "transparent")) +
labs(title = "Variables for Identification of Potential Urban Development Zones",
subtitle = "Land Price and Ground Water Level represent price and water depth respectively; Others represent Euclidean Distance") +
coord_equal()
In ggplot2 geom
s don't have a legend. Instead legends reflect aesthetics or scales. The geom only determines the shape of the key used in the legend, e.g. a geom_point
will be depicted as a point, a geom_path
as a line, ... This said, if you want to have a legend you have to map on aesthetics.
To get a legend depicting the different colored geom_path
s you could map a constant value on the color
aesthetic and then assign your desired colors to these constants using scale_color_manual
.
The following code is not tested but should give you your desired result:
ggplot(pfiles) +
geom_raster(aes(fill = factor(value))) +
geom_path(data = ward, aes(long, lat, group = group, color = "ward")) +
geom_path(data = buffer, aes(long, lat, group = group, color = "buffer")) +
scale_color_manual(values = c(ward = "black", buffer = "red"))
