I make a list of ggplots
stored in an object called g.a
, Here's the code to reproduce the plots (data is provided at the bottom).
Worth to note that I am probably missing something simple and over-complicated the problem.
RCfitter <- function(w,h,a,b){(a * ((w + h)^b))}
fillfactor <- lapply(seq_len(length(dat.a)), function(i) {
as.factor((gsub("-.*","",dat.a[[i]]$Date)))}) #I tried as.integer as well
set.seed(92)
lin.a <- lapply(seq_len(length(dat.a)), function(i) {
data.frame(x = runif(100, -dB.coef.a[3,i],
max(dat.a[[i]]$WL)+diff(0.2*range(dat.a[[i]]$Q))))})
library(ggplot2)
g.a <- lapply(seq_len(length(dat.a)), function(i) {
ggplot() +
geom_point(data=dat.a[[i]], aes(x=WL,y=Q, tltip = Date,
fill =fillfactor[[i]]),
colour = NA, pch=21) +
scale_fill_manual(breaks = mybreaks, values = myfills)+
geom_line(data = lin.a[[i]],
aes(x=x,y= RCfitter(x,dB.coef.a[3,i],dB.coef.a[1,i],dB.coef.a[2,i])),colour="red")+
xlab("WL") +
ylab("Q") +
ggtitle(paste("pLot ",i)) +
ylim(c(0,(max(dat.a[[i]]$Q)+diff(0.2*range(dat.a[[i]]$Q))))) +
xlim(c(0,(max(dat.a[[i]]$WL)+diff(0.2*range(dat.a[[i]]$WL))))) +
theme(legend.position="none")
})
If I ignore the scale_fill
I can plot them and I will get the "colorful" plot. But with that I get this warning:
g.a[[2]]
## Warning messages:
## 1: Removed 6 rows containing missing values (geom_point).
## 2: Removed 64 rows containing missing values (geom_path).
Which means geom_point
does not plot anything.
I used scale_fill_discrete
, scale_fill_continuous
, etc. and they give me errors like discrete value to continuous scale
or vice versa or.
What I really want is to make a gradient color for years, let's say from blue to red, so I can distinguish between the years while seeing if there's a chunk of similar years (e.g. 60s) around the same spot.
P.S. At the end, I am using ggplotly()
(e.g. ggplotly(g.a[[2]],tooltip = c("x","y","tltip")
). So, if that would change the behavior of scale_fill
(which is, for example, some of the colors that I have specified are invalid for plotly
) , please have that in mind.
