i have a data frame and i want to generate a geom_tile()
plot from it , but I want the graph to be ordered not based on the alphabetic but based on a variable inside this data frame.
structure(list(V1 = c("a", "y", "w", "p", "v", "h", "i"),
V2 = c("r", "w", "q", "m", "l", "q", "g"), V3 = c(
"5", "2", "9", "2", "1", "3", "0")), .Names = c("V1", "V2",
"V3"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -8L))
I want to order the plot based in the variable V3
, because the normal plotting will order them based on the alphabetic in V1
and V2
.
How this can be done ??
I usually try to use levels to fix my data before hand:
x <- structure(list(V1 = c("a", "y", "w", "p", "v", "h", "i"),
V2 = c("r", "w", "q", "m", "l", "q", "g"), V3 = c(
"5", "2", "9", "2", "1", "3", "0")), .Names = c("V1", "V2",
"V3"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -8L))
x <- x[1:7,]
x$V1 <- factor(x$V1, levels=(x$V1)[order(x$V3)])
# Note it's not an ordered factor, it's a factor in the right order
ggplot(x, aes(V1, V3)) + geom_tile()
UPDATE:
Still not exactly clear on your dimensions, but perhaps something like:
x$V2 <- factor(x$V2, levels=(x$V2)[order(x$V3)])
ggplot(x, aes(V1,V2,fill=V3)) + geom_tile()
As an answer to the duplicate question, here's a solution that uses ggplot
directly and does not require changing the data.
x <- structure(list(V1 = c("a", "y", "w", "p", "v", "h", "i"),
V2 = c("r", "w", "q", "m", "l", "q", "g"),
V3 = c( "5", "2", "9", "2", "1", "3", "0")),
.Names = c("V1", "V2", "V3"), class = "data.frame",
row.names = c(NA, -8L))
x <- x[1:7,]
ggplot(x, aes(V1, V2, fill=V3)) + geom_tile() +
scale_x_discrete(limits=(x$V1)[order(x$V3)]) +
scale_y_discrete(limits=(x$V2)[order(x$V3)])
