ggplot2 legend for stat_summary
How can I create a legend informing that the red cross is the mean?
ggplot(results, aes(x=factor, y=proportionPositive)) +
geom_boxplot() +
stat_summary(fun.data = "mean_cl_normal", colour = "red", shape=4)
Here is one way of doing it:
- Map an aesthetic to a shape, i.e. aes(shape="mean")
- Create a manual shape scale, i.e. scale_shape_manual()
# Create dummy data results <- data.frame( factor=factor(rep(1:10, 100)), proportionPositive=rnorm(1000)) # Plot results ggplot(results, aes(x=factor, y=proportionPositive)) + geom_boxplot() + stat_summary(fun.data = "mean_cl_normal", aes(shape="mean"), colour = "red", geom="point") + scale_shape_manual("", values=c("mean"="x"))
for me option "show.legend=TRUE" simply did work out:
ggplot(aes(x=stimulus, y=EPN, fill=strategy))+
stat_summary(fun.data=mean_se, show.legend=TRUE, geom="bar", position="dodge", colour="black", linetype="solid", size=0.3)
