[R] labeling in qplot

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear Mo,

This is rather easy. Add an ID to each data series, rbind them into one
data.frame and use the colour argument of qplot.


data1 <- data.frame(corArms = rnorm(1000))
data2 <- data.frame(corArms = rnorm(3000, sd = 0.5))
data3 <- data.frame(corArms = rnorm(2000, sd = 2))


data1$ID <- "Data 1"
data2$ID <- "Data 2"
data3$ID <- "Data 3"

dataset <- rbind(data1, data2, data3)
library(ggplot2)
qplot(corArms, data = dataset, colour = ID, geom = "density",
adjust=0.4, main="Arms Correlation All")

HTH,

Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of
data.

HI

  am plotting different density plots in one graph each with a different
color.

  And i want to add labels to plot mentioning which color belongs to
which data series.

p2 <- qplot(corArms, data = data1, geom = "density", adjust=0.4,
main="Arms Correlation All") + layer(data=data2, geom="density",
adjust=0.4, color=I(2)) + layer(data=data3, geom="density", adjust=0.4,
color=I(3));

  how can i add such a legend. Any pointers?

thanks a million
Mo.
