how could I make a legend representing all the curves that are plotted in my graph ? Presently, an automatic legend is generated for the first layer (based on the "colour" aesthetic), but the other layer (the black curve representing the density of "price" variable across all observations) in not contained in this legend.
I conceive that my question comes certainly from an incomplete understanding of the concepts behing ggplot package.
ggplot(diamonds) +
geom_density(aes(x = price, y = ..density.., colour = cut)) +
geom_density(aes(x = price,y = ..density..))
The principle in ggplot2
is that each aesthetic gets mapped to a scale. So, if you want to include a layer in the colour
scale, you need to map that layer to colour
.
Like this:
ggplot(diamonds, aes(x=price)) +
geom_density(aes(colour = cut)) +
geom_density(aes(colour="Overall"), size=1.5)
Note: You can take additional control over the colours by specifying a manual colour scale:
ggplot(diamonds, aes(x=price)) +
geom_density(aes(colour = cut)) +
geom_density(aes(colour="Overall"), size=1.5) +
scale_colour_manual(
limits=c("Overall", levels(diamonds$cut)),
values=c("black", 2:6)
)
