My code is:
ggplot(my_data, aes(x = factor(inst), y = value, fill = color)) +
geom_boxplot(position = position_dodge(width = 0.75)) +
scale_fill_manual(values = c("blue" = "blue", "green" = "green", "red" = "red", "yellow" =
"yellow")) +
theme_bw()
And it shows a graph like this:
My grouping variable is color. How can I visualize the boxplots with different patterns inside,just black and white background, instead of colors.
Here's an example which should help you see how it is done:
library(tidyverse)
library(ggpattern)
dat <- expand_grid(a = 1:5, b = c("blue", "green", "red", "yellow"))
my_data <-
pmap_dfr(dat, function(a, b) {
tibble(value = sample(randu$x, size = 20, replace = TRUE)) |>
mutate(inst = a, color = b)
} )
ggplot(my_data, aes(x = factor(inst), y = value)) +
geom_boxplot_pattern(
aes(pattern = color, pattern_angle = color, pattern_spacing = color),
position = position_dodge(width = 0.75)
) +
theme_bw()
{ggpattern}
has really good documentation, and an example of what you want can be found here: https://coolbutuseless.github.io/package/ggpattern/articles/geom-gallery-geometry.html#bw-example
