Combine 2 variables in scatterplot without dodge

I want to create a scatterplot that combines both days (in color) as observer (shape) in a scatterplot. However, with my current code the points will not only dodge on day (which I want), but also on observer (which i dont want). Here is my dataframe

structure(list(sample = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,

I can create a scatterplot as followed

final_data$day <- as.factor(final_data$day)

p <- ggplot(data = final_data)+
  aes(x = treatment, y = count, color = day)+
 geom_point(size = 2, position = position_jitterdodge(dodge.width = 0.5, jitter.width = 0.1))

plot(p)

Graph 1

But now I only want to change the shape of my points (per observer), but I don't want the extra dodge for these points. This is what happens when I change my code.

final_data$day <- as.factor(final_data$day)

p <- ggplot(data = final_data)+
  aes(x = treatment, y = count, color = day)+
 geom_point(aes(shape = observer), size = 2, position = position_jitterdodge(dodge.width = 0.5, jitter.width = 0.1))

plot(p)

Graph 2

How can I keep the layout from Layout 1, but with the different shape for the "observer". In other words, only dodge for days, not for observers.

I tried several codes, but nothing works for this. Hope you can help.

Thanks M

Solution

  • You have to explicitly set the group aes, i.e. use group=day to dodge the points by day only:

    library(ggplot2)

ggplot(data = final_data) +
  aes(x = treatment, y = count, color = day, group = day) +
  geom_point(aes(shape = observer),
    size = 2,
    position = position_jitterdodge(dodge.width = 0.5, jitter.width = 0.1)
  )
