使用列表命令ggplot x轴

Question

我有一个数据框,我想绘制条形图,但我希望分类的x值按照我用列表指定的特定顺序.我将使用mtcars数据集显示一个示例.

#get a small version of the mtcars dataset and add a named column
mtcars2 <- mtcars
mtcars2[["car"]] <- rownames(mtcars2)
mtcars2 <- mtcars[0:5,]
# I would like to plot this using the following
p = ggplot(mtcars2, aes(x=car, y=mpg))+ geom_bar(stat="identity")

x轴的值按字母顺序排序.但是,如果我有一个汽车列表,我希望ggplot保留订单怎么办:

#list out of alphabetical order
orderlist = c("Hornet 4 Drive", "Mazda RX4 Wag", "Mazda RX4",
               "Datsun 710", "Hornet Sportabout") 

# I would like to plot the bar graph as above but preserve the plot order
# something like this:
p = ggplot(mtcars2, aes(x= reorder( car, orderlist), y=mpg))+ geom_bar(stat="identity")

任何指针都会受到赞赏,zach cp

Answer 1

将car因子上的级别设置为您想要的顺序,例如:

mtcars2 <- transform(mtcars2, car = factor(car, levels = orderlist))

然后情节工作,没有任何进一步干预:

ggplot(mtcars2, aes(x=car, y=mpg))+ geom_bar(stat="identity")
