R语言 使用ggplot2绘制好看的分组散点图
作者：yepeng2007fei
我们以iris数据集为例，该数据集包括花萼的长度和宽度，花瓣的长度和宽度，以及物种，如下图：
本文我们要绘制不同物种下花萼的长度和宽度的分布情况，以及二者之间的相关性关系。
1. 首先载入ggplot2包，
library(ggplot2)
2. 然后进行ggplot(data = NULL, mapping = aes(), ..., environment = parent.frame())绘制，在绘制中第一个参数是数据，第二个参数是数据映射，是绘制的全局变量，其中包含的参数有x,y,color,size,alpha,shape等。
例如：ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, color = Species))，然后通过快捷散点绘制
+geom_point(size = 2.0, shape = 16)，颜色代表不同的物种，如下图：
3. 上面显示的是最原始的散点绘制，通过颜色区分不同的物种，那么如何进行效果的提升呢？
首先是可以进行分面，使得不同物种的对比效果更为显著，这里使用+facet_wrap( ~ Species)，效果如下：
4. 通过分面后对比效果好了不少，如果想看下不同物种下花萼长度与宽度的关系呢？可以使用+geom_smooth(method = "loess")，效果图如下：
5. 通过上面的操作效果好了很多，但是还是感觉不够高大上，那我们可以使用library(ggthemes)这个包进行精修一下，通过修改theme，使用+theme_solarized()，效果如下：
还有更多的theme选择，例如+theme_wsj()，效果如下：
这样我们的图是不是高大上了很多呢，所以其实数据可视化也没有多难。最后给下源码：
library(ggthemes) library(ggplot2) ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, color = Species)) + geom_point(size = 2.0, shape = 16) + facet_wrap( ~ Species) + geom_smooth(method = "loess")+ theme_wsj()
补充：R语言 画图神器ggplot2包
ggplot2
R语言里画图最好用的包啦。感觉图都挺清晰的，就懒得加文字了（或者以后回来补吧>.）前面几个图挺基础的，后面也许会有没见过的ggplot用法哦。
Install Package
install.packages("ggplot2")
library(ggplot2)
Scatter Plot
为了方便展示，用gapminder的数据
if(!require(gapminder)) install.packages("gapminder"）
library(gapminder)
gapminder
数据大概是这样的
假设我们现在想要知道2007年lifeExp和人均GDP之间的关系。
先筛选数据
library(dplyr) gapminder_2007 <- gapminder %>% filter(year == 2007)
画lifeExp和gdpPercap关系的散点图，x为gdpPercap，y为lifeExp。
ggplot(gapminder_2007,aes(x = gdpPercap, y = lifeExp))+geom_point()
看的出来lifeExp与gdpPercap存在近似lifeExp=log(gdpPercap)的关系，对x轴的数值进行log值处理。另外，为了呈现更多信息，用颜色标记国家所在的洲，并用点的大小表示人口数量。
ggplot(gapminder_2007,aes(x = gdpPercap, y = lifeExp, color = continent, size = pop))+ geom_point()+scale_x_log10()+theme_minimal()+ labs(x = "GDP per capita", y = "Life expectancy", title = "Life expectancy increases as GDP per capita increases", caption = "Data source: gapminder")
另外一种呈现方式如下：
加入了回归线和坐标轴的histogram。
plot <- ggplot(gapminder_2007, aes(x = gdpPercap, y = lifeExp)) + geom_point()+geom_smooth(method="lm")+scale_x_log10()+ labs(x = "GDP per capita", y = "Life expectancy", title = "Life expectancy increases as GDP per capita increases", caption = "Data source: gapminder") ggMarginal(plot, type = "histogram", fill="transparent") #ggMarginal(plot, type = "boxplot", fill="transparent")
Histogram
gapminder_gdp2007 <- gapminder %>% filter(year == 2007, continent == "Americas") %>% mutate(country = fct_reorder(country,gdpPercap,last)) ggplot(gapminder_gdp2007, aes(x=country, y = gdpPercap))+ geom_col(fill="skyblue", color="black")+ labs(x = "Country", y = "GDP per capita", title = "GDP per capita in North America and South America, 2007", caption = "Data source: gapminder")+ coord_flip()+theme_minimal()
Line Plot
gapminder_pop <- gapminder %>%
filter(country %in% c("United States","China"))
ggplot(gapminder_pop,aes(x = year, y = pop, color = country))+
geom_line(lwd = 0.8)+theme_light()+
labs(x = "Year",
y = "Population",
title = "Population in China and United States, 1953-2007",
caption = "Data source: gapminder")
Facet Plot
gapminder_gdp <- gapminder %>% group_by(year, continent) %>% summarize(avg_gdp = mean(gdpPercap)) ggplot(gapminder_gdp,aes(x = year, y = avg_gdp, color = continent))+ geom_line(lwd = 0.8)+theme_light()+facet_wrap(~continent)+ labs(x = "Year", y = "Average GDP per capita", title = "Average GDP per capita change in different continent", caption = "Data source: gapminder")+ scale_x_continuous(breaks=c(1955,1970,1985,2000))
Path Plot
gapminder_lifeexp <- gapminder %>% filter(year %in% c(1957,2007), continent == "Europe") %>% arrange(year) %>% mutate(country = fct_reorder(country,lifeExp,last)) ggplot(gapminder_lifeexp) +geom_path(aes(x = lifeExp, y = country), arrow = arrow(length = unit(1.5, "mm"), type = "closed")) + geom_text( aes(x = lifeExp, y = country, label = round(lifeExp, 1), hjust = ifelse(year == 2007,-0.2,1.2)), size =3, family = "Bookman", color = "gray25")+ scale_x_continuous(limits=c(45, 85))+ labs( x = "Life expectancy", y = "Country", title = "People live longer in 2007 compared to 1957", subtitle = "Life expectancy in European countries", caption = "Data source: gapminder" )
Density Plot
gapminder_1992 <- gapminder %>% filter(year == 1992) ggplot(gapminder_1992, aes(lifeExp))+theme_classic()+ geom_density(aes(fill=factor(continent)), alpha=0.8) + labs( x="Life expectancy", title="Life expectancy group by continent, 1992", caption="Data source: gapminder", fill="Continent")
Slope Chart
gapminder_lifeexp2 <- gapminder %>%
filter(year %in% c(1977,1987,1997,2007),
country %in% c("Canada", "United States","Mexico","Haiti","El Salvador",
"Guatemala","Jamaica")) %>%
mutate(lifeExp = round(lifeExp))
ylabs <- subset(gapminder_lifeexp2, year==head(year,1))$country
yvals <- subset(gapminder_lifeexp2, year==head(year,1))$lifeExp
ggplot(gapminder_lifeexp2, aes(x=as.factor(year),y=lifeExp)) +
geom_line(aes(group=country),colour="grey80") +
geom_point(colour="white",size=8) +
geom_text(aes(label=lifeExp), size=3, color = "black") +
scale_y_continuous(name="", breaks=yvals, labels=ylabs)+
theme_classic()+
labs(title="Life Expectancy of some North America countries change from 1977 to 2007") +
theme(axis.title=element_blank(),
axis.ticks = element_blank(),
plot.title = element_text(hjust=0.5))
