I am trying to create a series of Violin plots which show average concentration across different regions (separating out hemispheres and conditions).
I keep getting the following error: Error: Discrete value supplied to continuous scale. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Take care and stay well.
Here is a look at the structure of my data frame:
> str(Oxyhb_V2)
'data.frame': 1028 obs. of 7 variables:
$ ID : chr "B1" "B1" "B1" "B1" ...
$ Name : chr "Happy_HbO_LeftParietal_Value" "Happy_HbO_RightParietal_Value" "Happy_HbO_LeftSTC_Value" "Happy_HbO_RightSTC_Value" ...
$ Values : num -59.33 1.94 -33.85 21.11 -135.14 ...
$ Condition : Factor w/ 2 levels "Happy","ThreatAngryFearful": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 ...
$ Chromophore: Factor w/ 1 level "HbO": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
$ Hemisphere : Factor w/ 2 levels "Left","Right": 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 ...
$ ROI : Factor w/ 4 levels "DLPFC","IFC",..: 3 3 4 4 1 1 2 2 3 3 ...
- attr(*, "na.action")= 'omit' Named int [1:520] 9 18 27 36 40 41 43 44 45 49 ...
..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:520] "9" "27" "45" "63" ...
Here is my current ggplot code
q <- ggplot(Oxyhb_V2, aes(x=Hemisphere, y=Values, color=Condition)) +
facet_wrap(~ROI, scales='free') +
geom_vline(xintercept = 0, linetype = "dotted", color="black", alpha = .2) + #accentuate origin
geom_hline(yintercept = 0, linetype = "dotted", color="black", alpha = .2) + #accentuate origin
labs(x = "Condition", y = "Mean Oxy-Hb (uM)") + #label axes
theme(text=element_text(size=12)) +
geom_violin(trim=FALSE) +
geom_boxplot(width=0.1)+
geom_point() +#set label font size
theme_minimal() #set theme
plot(q)
The error is caused by geom_vline(xintercept = 0)
layer. Replace 0
with one of the values of your x
, for example geom_vline(xintercept = "Left")
