Plotting multiple graphs in R [closed]

So I want to plot multiple plots at the same time for each place with Num of Visits on y-axis and Day on x-axis but I'm not sure if there is a function to do this?

data frame

So I was able to make a plot for place A by subsetting place A :

placeA <- subset(df$place=="A")

ggplot(data=placeA, aes(x=Day, y=Num_OfVisits, group=1)) +
  geom_line(color="#00AFBB", size=0.5) +
  theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle=90,hjust=1, size=5))

But now I want to generate a plot for the other places and I am hoping that I could do it all in one shot because there are around 1000 places on my dataset and subsetting is taking some time. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!


You can write a function that takes the data frame and Place as inputs then loop through all the values in Place column to create the corresponding plots.

library(tidyverse)

df <- data_frame(
  Place = c(rep(c("A", "B", "C"), each = 3)),
  Num_of_Visits = seq(1:9),
  Day = rep(c("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday"), 3)
)

df <- df %>% 
  mutate(Day = factor(Day, levels = c("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday")))

my_plot <- function(df, myvar) {      
  ggplot(data = df %>% filter(Place == myvar), 
         aes(x = Day, y = Num_of_Visits, group = 1)) +
    geom_line(color = "#00AFBB", size = 0.5) +
    theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 0.5))      
}

# test
my_plot(df, 'A')

Loop through Place var, create plots & store them in a list using purrr::map()

plot_list <- unique(df$Place) %>% 
  purrr::set_names() %>% 
  purrr::map( ~ my_plot(df, .x))
str(plot_list, max.level = 1)
#> List of 3
#>  $ A:List of 9
#>   ..- attr(*, "class")= chr [1:2] "gg" "ggplot"
#>  $ B:List of 9
#>   ..- attr(*, "class")= chr [1:2] "gg" "ggplot"
#>  $ C:List of 9
#>   ..- attr(*, "class")= chr [1:2] "gg" "ggplot"

Display all plots with purrr::walk()

purrr::walk(plot_list, print)

Save all plots to PNG files using purrr::iwalk()

purrr::iwalk(plot_list,
             ~ ggsave(plot = .x,
                      filename = paste0("Plot_", .y, ".png"),
                      type = 'cairo', width = 6, height = 6, dpi = 150)
)

Combine all plot together if needed using cowplot::plot_grid()

library(cowplot)
do.call(plot_grid, c(plot_list, 
                     align = "h",
                     axis = 'tb',
                     ncol = 3))
