我要做一个柱状图,其中最大的柱状图离y轴最近,最短的柱状图离y轴最远。这有点像我的表格

    Name   Position
1   James  Goalkeeper
2   Frank  Goalkeeper
3   Jean   Defense
4   Steve  Defense
5   John   Defense
6   Tim    Striker

所以我试图建立一个条形图,根据位置显示球员的数量

p <- ggplot(theTable, aes(x = Position)) + geom_bar(binwidth = 1)

但是图表显示的是门将栏,然后是防守栏,最后是前锋栏。我希望图表的顺序是,防守条最靠近y轴,守门员条,最后是前锋条。 谢谢

一个简单的基于dplyr的因子重排序可以解决这个问题:

library(dplyr)

#reorder the table and reset the factor to that ordering
theTable %>%
  group_by(Position) %>%                              # calculate the counts
  summarize(counts = n()) %>%
  arrange(-counts) %>%                                # sort by counts
  mutate(Position = factor(Position, Position)) %>%   # reset factor
  ggplot(aes(x=Position, y=counts)) +                 # plot 
    geom_bar(stat="identity")                         # plot histogram

library(ggplot2)
library(magrittr)

dd <- tibble::tribble(
    ~Name,    ~Position,
  "James", "Goalkeeper",
  "Frank", "Goalkeeper",
   "Jean",    "Defense",
   "John",    "Defense",
  "Steve",    "Defense",
    "Tim",    "Striker"
  )


dd %>% ggplot(aes(x = forcats::fct_infreq(Position))) + geom_bar()

于2022-08-30使用reprex v2.0.2创建

使用scale_x_discrete (limits =…)指定条形图的顺序。

positions <- c("Goalkeeper", "Defense", "Striker")
p <- ggplot(theTable, aes(x = Position)) + scale_x_discrete(limits = positions)

除了forcats::fct_infreq之外,由 @HolgerBrandl,有forcats::fct_rev,它颠倒了因子的顺序。

theTable <- data.frame(
    Position= 
        c("Zoalkeeper", "Zoalkeeper", "Defense",
          "Defense", "Defense", "Striker"),
    Name=c("James", "Frank","Jean",
           "Steve","John", "Tim"))

p1 <- ggplot(theTable, aes(x = Position)) + geom_bar()
p2 <- ggplot(theTable, aes(x = fct_infreq(Position))) + geom_bar()
p3 <- ggplot(theTable, aes(x = fct_rev(fct_infreq(Position)))) + geom_bar()

gridExtra::grid.arrange(p1, p2, p3, nrow=3)             

如果图表列来自一个数值变量,如下面的数据框架所示,您可以使用一个更简单的解决方案:

ggplot(df, aes(x = reorder(Colors, -Qty, sum), y = Qty)) 
+ geom_bar(stat = "identity")  

排序变量(-Qty)前面的负号控制排序方向(升序/降序)

以下是一些用于测试的数据:

df <- data.frame(Colors = c("Green","Yellow","Blue","Red","Yellow","Blue"),  
                 Qty = c(7,4,5,1,3,6)
                )

**Sample data:**
  Colors Qty
1  Green   7
2 Yellow   4
3   Blue   5
4    Red   1
5 Yellow   3
6   Blue   6

当我发现这条线索时,这就是我一直在寻找的答案。希望对其他人有用。

@GavinSimpson:重新排序是一个强大而有效的解决方案:

ggplot(theTable,
       aes(x=reorder(Position,Position,
                     function(x)-length(x)))) +
       geom_bar()
