Using the following data frame:
sdf<-data.frame(hours=gl(n=3,k=1,length=9,labels=c(0,2,4)),
count=c(4500,1500,2600,4000,800,200,1500,50,20),
machine=gl(n=3,k=3,length=9,labels=c("A","B","C")))
The following graph can be produced using either of these scripts:
ggplot(data=sdf,aes(x=hours,y=count,group=machine,fill=machine))+
geom_area(data=sdf[sdf$machine=="A",])+
geom_area(data=sdf[sdf$machine=="B",])+
geom_area(data=sdf[sdf$machine=="C",])
ggplot(data=sdf,aes(x=hours,y=count,group=machine,fill=machine))+
geom_area(position="dodge")
The color can easily be changed, but changing the alpha value also changes the legend:
ggplot(data=sdf,aes(x=hours,y=count,group=machine,fill=machine,alpha=machine))+
geom_area(position="dodge")+
scale_fill_manual(values=c("chocolate1","goldenrod","pink"))+
scale_alpha_manual(values=c(0.01, 0.2, .1),guide=F)
Ideally, the legend will not fade to the same alpha values. This might sound strange for an individual graph, but the result will be part of a .gif file.
Question: What script can alter the alpha values for individual graphs yet keep the solidity of colors in the legend?
