R语言ggplot2图例修改超详细介绍

前言

大家经常对ggplot2中的图例不满意,想要各种修改,今天就介绍下图例的各种修改细节,基本上常用的操作都涉及到了!

library(ggplot2)
library(gcookbook)

移除图例

提供3种方法可以在ggplot2中移除图例。

# 基本图形
pg_plot <- ggplot(PlantGrowth, aes(x = group, y = weight, fill = group)) +
geom_boxplot()

pg_plot

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-2

# 首先可以使用guides()函数移除图例
pg_plot +
guides(fill = "none")

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-3

然后可以在scale_**函数中移除,这里是fill,你要根据自己的情况换成shape、color等。

pg_plot+scale_fill_discrete(guide = "none")

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-4

第3种方法是在theme中移除。

pg_plot+theme(legend.position = "none")

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-5

改变图例位置

也是在theme中更改,

pg_plot <- ggplot(PlantGrowth, aes(x = group, y = weight, fill = group)) +
geom_boxplot() +
scale_fill_brewer(palette = "Pastel2")

pg_plot +
theme(legend.position = "top") # 放在顶部

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-6

legend.position的参数可以是left、right、top、bottom,还可以是坐标。

pg_plot+theme(legend.position = c(0.8,0.3))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-7

在ggplot2中,左下角的坐标是c(0,0),右上角的坐标是c(1,1),你可以自己设置想要放置的位置。需要注意的是,你设置的这个坐标是图例中心点的坐标,可以通过legend.justification设置图例的哪个位置放在你的坐标上。

# 图例右下角,放在画布右下角
pg_plot +
theme(legend.position = c(1, 0), legend.justification = c(1, 0))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-8

p <- ggplot(heightweight, aes(x=ageYear, y=heightIn, shape=sex, colour=sex))+geom_point()
p

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-9

两个图例更改为水平排列:

p + scale_shape_discrete(label = c("female","male")) +
theme(legend.direction = "horizontal")

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-10

修改图例的边框和背景

pg_plot+
theme(legend.position = c(0.85,0.2))+
theme(legend.background = element_rect(fill = "orange",color = "black"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-11

中间还有一部分是白色,需要另外一个参数修改:

pg_plot+
theme(legend.position = c(0.85,0.2))+
theme(legend.background = element_rect(fill = "orange",color = "black"),
      legend.key = element_rect(fill = "orange")
      )

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-12

改变图例顺序

pg_plot <- ggplot(PlantGrowth, aes(x = group, y = weight, fill = group)) +
geom_boxplot()

pg_plot

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-13

# limits
pg_plot +
scale_fill_discrete(limits = c("trt1", "trt2", "ctrl"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-14

也可以在画图之前,通过因子化的方法把数据先排好序再画图哦。

反转图例顺序

2种方法。

pg_plot+scale_fill_discrete(guide = guide_legend(reverse = T))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-15

pg_plot+guides(fill = guide_legend(reverse = T))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-16

修改图例标题

2种方法。

pg_plot <- ggplot(PlantGrowth, aes(x = group, y = weight, fill = group)) +
geom_boxplot()

pg_plot

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-17

labs里面修改

pg_plot + labs(fill = "Condition")

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-18

在scale_*函数里面修改。

pg_plot+scale_fill_discrete(name = "hahah")

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-19

还有一种比较复杂的情况,如果多个一个变量映射给多个图形参数,或者有多个图例,怎么修改呢?像下面这个例子,sex和shape、color都有关。

p <- ggplot(heightweight, aes(x=ageYear, y=heightIn, shape=sex, colour=sex))+geom_point()
p

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-20

可以在scale_*函数中修改:

p + scale_shape_discrete(name = "shape")+
scale_color_discrete(name = "colooorrr")

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-21

也可以在legend中修改:

p + labs(shape = "shapppeee",color = "colooorrr")

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-22

还可以在guides函数中修改:

p + guides(shape = guide_legend(title = "this is\nshape"),
         color = guide_legend(title = "cooolor")
         )

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-23

修改图例标题外观

pg_plot <- ggplot(PlantGrowth, aes(x = group, y = weight, fill = group)) +
geom_boxplot()
pg_plot

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-24

可以在theme中修改:

pg_plot + theme(
legend.title = element_text(
  face = "italic",
  family = "Times",
  colour = "red",
  size = 18
)
)

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-26

也可以在guides中修改:

pg_plot +
guides(fill = guide_legend(title.theme = element_text(
  face = "italic",
  family = "Times",
  colour = "red",
  size = 14))
)

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-27

移除图例标题

pg_plot

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-29

可以在theme中修改,也可以在scale_xxx函数中修改,也可以在guides函数中修改。

pg_plot+theme(legend.title = element_blank())

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-30

pg_plot+scale_fill_discrete(name = NULL)

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-30

pg_plot+scale_fill_hue(guide = guide_legend(title = NULL))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-30

pg_plot+guides(fill = guide_legend(title = NULL))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-30

修改图例标签

pg_plot

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-31

pg_plot+scale_fill_discrete(labels = c("label1","label2","label3"))

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-32

修改图例标签外观

在theme中修改:

pg_plot +
theme(legend.text = element_text(
  colour = "red",
  face = "italic",
  size = 22)
)

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-33
