我使用了以下ggplot命令:
ggplot(survey, aes(x = age)) + stat_bin(aes(n = nrow(h3), y = ..count.. / n), binwidth = 10)
+ scale_y_continuous(formatter = "percent", breaks = c(0, 0.1, 0.2))
+ facet_grid(hospital ~ .)
+ theme(panel.background = theme_blank())
生产
然而,我想将facet标签更改为更短的内容(如Hosp 1, Hosp 2…),因为它们现在太长了,看起来很局促(增加图形的高度不是一个选项,它将占用文档中的太多空间)。我查看了facet_grid帮助页面,但不知道如何操作。
这个解决方案非常接近于@domi,但是它通过获取前4个字母和最后一个数字来缩短名称。
library(ggplot2)
# simulate some data
xy <- data.frame(hospital = rep(paste("Hospital #", 1:3, sep = ""), each = 30),
value = rnorm(90))
shortener <- function(string) {
abb <- substr(string, start = 1, stop = 4) # fetch only first 4 strings
num <- gsub("^.*(\\d{1})$", "\\1", string) # using regular expression, fetch last number
out <- paste(abb, num) # put everything together
out
}
ggplot(xy, aes(x = value)) +
theme_bw() +
geom_histogram() +
facet_grid(hospital ~ ., labeller = labeller(hospital = shortener))
下面是我如何使用2.2.1版本的ggplot2使用facet_grid(yfacet~xfacet):
facet_grid(
yfacet~xfacet,
labeller = labeller(
yfacet = c(`0` = "an y label", `1` = "another y label"),
xfacet = c(`10` = "an x label", `20` = "another x label")
)
)
请注意,这里不包含对as_labeller()的调用——这一点我曾纠结过一段时间。
这种方法的灵感来自帮助页面上的最后一个示例强制到标签器函数。
我现在解决这个问题的方法是使用dplyr::case_when在facet_grid或facet_wrap函数中生成一个标签器。这是@lillemets提出的解决方案的扩展
ggplot(survey, aes(x = age)) + stat_bin(aes(n = nrow(h3), y = ..count.. / n), binwidth = 10)
+ scale_y_continuous(formatter = "percent", breaks = c(0, 0.1, 0.2))
+ facet_grid(case_when(hospital == "Hospital #1" ~ "Hosp1",
hospital == "Hospital #2" ~ "Hosp2") ~ .)
+ theme(panel.background = theme_blank())
如果您有第二个facet标签要更改,那么只需在facet_grid中的~的另一侧使用相同的方法即可
