常见的用例有双y轴，例如，显示每月温度和降水的气体图。这里是一个简单的解决方案，从威震天的解决方案中推广，允许你设置变量的下限为零:

示例数据:

climate <- tibble(
  Month = 1:12,
  Temp = c(-4,-4,0,5,11,15,16,15,11,6,1,-3),
  Precip = c(49,36,47,41,53,65,81,89,90,84,73,55)
  )

将以下两个值设置为接近数据限制的值(您可以使用这些值来调整图形的位置;坐标轴仍然是正确的):

ylim.prim <- c(0, 180)   # in this example, precipitation
ylim.sec <- c(-4, 18)    # in this example, temperature

下面根据这些极限进行必要的计算，并制作出图本身:

b <- diff(ylim.prim)/diff(ylim.sec)
a <- ylim.prim[1] - b*ylim.sec[1]) # there was a bug here

ggplot(climate, aes(Month, Precip)) +
  geom_col() +
  geom_line(aes(y = a + Temp*b), color = "red") +
  scale_y_continuous("Precipitation", sec.axis = sec_axis(~ (. - a)/b, name = "Temperature")) +
  scale_x_continuous("Month", breaks = 1:12) +
  ggtitle("Climatogram for Oslo (1961-1990)")  

如果你想确保红线对应右边的y轴，你可以在代码中添加一个主题句:

ggplot(climate, aes(Month, Precip)) +
  geom_col() +
  geom_line(aes(y = a + Temp*b), color = "red") +
  scale_y_continuous("Precipitation", sec.axis = sec_axis(~ (. - a)/b, name = "Temperature")) +
  scale_x_continuous("Month", breaks = 1:12) +
  theme(axis.line.y.right = element_line(color = "red"), 
        axis.ticks.y.right = element_line(color = "red"),
        axis.text.y.right = element_text(color = "red"), 
        axis.title.y.right = element_text(color = "red")
        ) +
  ggtitle("Climatogram for Oslo (1961-1990)")

右轴的颜色:

It seemingly appears to be a simple question but it boggles around 2 fundamental questions. A) How to deal with a multi-scalar data while presenting in a comparative chart, and secondly, B) whether this can be done without some thumb rule practices of R programming such as i) melting data, ii) faceting, iii) adding another layer to existing one. The solution given below satisfies both the above conditions as it deals data without having to rescale it and secondly, the techniques mentioned are not used.

这是结果，

Hadley的回答参考了Stephen Few的报告《双缩放轴在图中是最好的解决方案吗?》

我不知道OP中的“counts”和“rate”是什么意思，但快速搜索会给我counts和Rates，所以我得到了一些关于北美登山事故的数据:

Years<-c("1998","1999","2000","2001","2002","2003","2004")
Persons.Involved<-c(281,248,301,276,295,231,311)
Fatalities<-c(20,17,24,16,34,18,35)
rate=100*Fatalities/Persons.Involved
df<-data.frame(Years=Years,Persons.Involved=Persons.Involved,Fatalities=Fatalities,rate=rate)
print(df,row.names = FALSE)

 Years Persons.Involved Fatalities      rate
  1998              281         20  7.117438
  1999              248         17  6.854839
  2000              301         24  7.973422
  2001              276         16  5.797101
  2002              295         34 11.525424
  2003              231         18  7.792208
  2004              311         35 11.254019

然后，我尝试按照Few在上述报告第7页建议的那样绘制图表(并按照OP的要求将计数绘制为柱状图，将率绘制为折线图):

The other less obvious solution, which works only for time series, is to convert all sets of values to a common quantitative scale by displaying percentage differences between each value and a reference (or index) value. For instance, select a particular point in time, such as the first interval that appears in the graph, and express each subsequent value as the percentage difference between it and the initial value. This is done by dividing the value at each point in time by the value for the initial point in time and then multiplying it by 100 to convert the rate to a percentage, as illustrated below.

df2<-df
df2$Persons.Involved <- 100*df$Persons.Involved/df$Persons.Involved[1]
df2$rate <- 100*df$rate/df$rate[1]
plot(ggplot(df2)+
  geom_bar(aes(x=Years,weight=Persons.Involved))+
  geom_line(aes(x=Years,y=rate,group=1))+
  theme(text = element_text(size=30))
  )

这就是结果:

但我不是很喜欢它，我不能轻易地给它加上一个传奇……

您可以创建一个缩放因子，应用于第二个geom和右y轴。这是从塞巴斯蒂安的解推导出来的。

library(ggplot2)

scaleFactor <- max(mtcars$cyl) / max(mtcars$hp)

ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=disp)) +
  geom_smooth(aes(y=cyl), method="loess", col="blue") +
  geom_smooth(aes(y=hp * scaleFactor), method="loess", col="red") +
  scale_y_continuous(name="cyl", sec.axis=sec_axis(~./scaleFactor, name="hp")) +
  theme(
    axis.title.y.left=element_text(color="blue"),
    axis.text.y.left=element_text(color="blue"),
    axis.title.y.right=element_text(color="red"),
    axis.text.y.right=element_text(color="red")
  )

注意:使用ggplot2 v3.0.0

总有办法的。

这里有一个解决方案，允许完全任意轴而不重新缩放。其思想是生成两个除了轴以外完全相同的图，并使用cowplot包中的insert_yaxis_grob和get_y_axis函数将它们组合在一起。

library(ggplot2)
library(cowplot)

## first plot 
p1 <- ggplot(mtcars,aes(disp,hp,color=as.factor(am))) + 
    geom_point() + theme_bw() + theme(legend.position='top', text=element_text(size=16)) +
    ylab("Horse points" )+ xlab("Display size") + scale_color_discrete(name='Transmitter') +
    stat_smooth(se=F)

## same plot with different, arbitrary scale   
p2 <- p1 +
    scale_y_continuous(position='right',breaks=seq(120,173,length.out = 3),
                       labels=c('little','medium little','medium hefty'))

ggdraw(insert_yaxis_grob(p1,get_y_axis(p2,position='right')))

这在ggplot2中是不可能的，因为我认为具有单独y尺度的图(不是相互转换的y尺度)从根本上是有缺陷的。一些问题:

The are not invertible: given a point on the plot space, you can not uniquely map it back to a point in the data space. They are relatively hard to read correctly compared to other options. See A Study on Dual-Scale Data Charts by Petra Isenberg, Anastasia Bezerianos, Pierre Dragicevic, and Jean-Daniel Fekete for details. They are easily manipulated to mislead: there is no unique way to specify the relative scales of the axes, leaving them open to manipulation. Two examples from the Junkcharts blog: one, two They are arbitrary: why have only 2 scales, not 3, 4 or ten?
