How to use ggplot2 In R Language
Here we will use gridExtra contains a function called arrange() that is used to arrange plots as desired.
Syntax: grid.arrange(plot, nrow, ncol)
Parameter:
- plot: ggplot2 plot which we want to arrange
- nrow: Number of rows
- ncol: Number of columns
Here, by changing nrow and ncol values, we can draw graphs in them. For drawing side-by-side plots we will keep nrow as 1 and ncol as the no. of plots required.
R
# Define data-set columns x1 <- c(31,13,25,31,16) x2 <- c(12,23,43,12,22,45,32) x3 <- c(234,123,210) label1 <- c('geek','geek-i-knack', 'technical-scipter', 'content-writer','problem-setter') label2 <- c('sun','mon','tue', 'wed','thur','fri','sat') label3 <- c('solved','attempted','unsolved') # Create data frame using above data column data1 <- data.frame(x1,label1) data2 <- data.frame(x2,label2) data3 <- data.frame(x3,label3) # set the plotting area into a 1*3 array par(mfrow = c(1, 3)) # import library ggplot2 and gridExtra library(ggplot2) library(gridExtra) # Draw the three line # chart using above datasets plot1<-ggplot(data1, aes(x=label1, y=x1, group=1)) + geom_line()+ geom_point() plot2<-ggplot(data2, aes(x=label2, y=x2, group=1)) + geom_line(linetype = "dashed")+ geom_point() plot3<-ggplot(data3, aes(x=label3, y=x3, group=1)) + geom_line(color="green")+ geom_point() # Use grid.arrange to put plots in columns grid.arrange(plot1, plot2, plot3, ncol=3) |
