[R] Antwort: Re: Way to Plot Multiple Variables and Change Color

[G.Maubach at weinwolf.de]

Hi Ulrik,

your answer is very valuable to me. If you do not know what I do, others 
don't either. So I should definitely adapt my code.

The result of your code and my code is the same. Thus, I use your code 
cause it is better readable.

My other question was how I can change the color palette for the stacked 
bars. Could you give me a hint where I need to look in ggplot2 
documentation?

Kind regards

Georg

Hi Georg,

I am a little unsure of what you want to do, but maybe this:

mdf <- melt(dfr)
d_result <- mdf  %>%
  dplyr::group_by(variable, value) %>%
  summarise(n = n())

ggplot(
  d_result,
  aes(variable, y = n, fill = value)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity")

Hi All,

in my current project I have to plot a whole bunch of related variables
(item batteries, e.g. How do you rate ... a) Accelaration, b) Horse Power,
c) Color Palette, etc.) which are all rated on a scale from 1 .. 4.

I need to present the results as stacked bar charts where the variables
are columns and the percentages of the scales values (1 .. 4) are the
chunks of the stacked bar for each variable. To do this I have transformed
my data from wide to long and calculated the percentage for each variable
and value. The code for this is as follows:

-- cut --

dfr <- structure(
  list(
    v07_01 = c(3, 1, 1, 4, 3, 4, 4, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3,
               4, 4, 4, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4),
    v07_02 = c(1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 1,
               4, 4, 1, 4, 4, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 1),
    v07_03 = c(3, 2, 2, 1, 4, 1,
               2, 3, 3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 1, 4, 1, 4, 2, 2, 3),
    v07_04 = c(3, 1, 1,
               4, 2, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 4, 1, 4),
    v07_05 = c(1,
               2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 1, 1, 4, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 4, 1, 4),
    v07_06 = c(1,
               2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 4, 3, 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 1, 4, 3),
    v07_07 = c(3,
               2, 3, 3, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4),
    v07_08 = c(3,
               2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 2, 2, 4),
    cased_id = structure(
      1:20,
      .Label = c(
        "1",
        "2",
        "3",
        "4",
        "5",
        "6",
        "7",
        "8",
        "9",
        "10",
        "11",
        "12",
        "13",
        "14",
        "15",
        "16",
        "17",
        "18",
        "19",
        "20"
      ),
      class = "factor"
    )
  ),
  .Names = c(
    "v07_01",
    "v07_02",
    "v07_03",
    "v07_04",
    "v07_05",
    "v07_06",
    "v07_07",
    "v07_08",
    "cased_id"
  ),
  row.names = c(NA, -20L),
  class = c("tbl_df", "tbl",
            "data.frame")
)

mdf <- melt(df)
d_result <- mdf  %>%
  dplyr::group_by(variable) %>%
  count(value)

ggplot(
  d_result,
  aes(variable, y = n, fill = value)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
  coord_cartesian(ylim = c(0,100))

-- cut --

Is there an easier way of doing this, i. e. a way without need to
transform the data?

How can I change the colors for the data points 1 .. 4?

I tried

-- cut --

  d_result,
  aes(variable, y = n, fill = value)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
  coord_cartesian(ylim = c(0,100)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(4, "Blues"))

-- cut -

but this does not work cause I am mixing continuous and descrete values.

How can I change the colors for the bars?

Kind regards

Georg
