I'm trying and failing to make a simple barplot with ggplot 2 my data are
dput(Success)
structure(list(Species = c("b", "c", "g", "g, b", "m"), n = c(586L,
5L, 293L, 4L, 8L), Success = c(412L, 5L, 186L, 4L, 6L)), row.names = c(NA,
-5L), class = "data.frame")
I've made the following plot
Speciesplot<-ggplot(Success, aes(Species, n, fill = Species)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
scale_x_discrete(labels = c("Blue tit", "Coal tit", "Great tit", "Mixed Broods (G,B)", "Marsh tit")) +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 600, by = 50)) +
scale_fill_manual(values=c("dodgerblue", "gray", "chartreuse4", "red", "lightgoldenrod"))+
theme(element_blank())+
ggtitle("Number of nests by species")+
ylab("Number of nests")+
theme(legend.position = "none")+
geom_text(aes(label=n), position=position_dodge(width=0.9), vjust=-0.25)
Which gives
all I want to do now is add the Success
data overlaid onto this barplot
so that I would have the number of successful nests displayed on the bar (like a stacked barchart) but as far I can see this isn't possible with int
class data. What am I missing here, I've tried to make a new bar chart and add it to Speciesplot
but I can't get that to work either.
You may adopt either of the following two strategies
Success <- structure(list(Species = c("b", "c", "g", "g, b", "m"), n = c(586L,
5L, 293L, 4L, 8L), Success = c(412L, 5L, 186L, 4L, 6L)), row.names = c(NA,
-5L), class = "data.frame")
library(tidyverse)
# First Method
Success %>%
pivot_longer(!Species) %>%
ggplot(aes(x = Species, y = value, fill = name)) +
geom_col(position = 'dodge') +
scale_x_discrete(labels = c("Blue tit", "Coal tit", "Great tit", "Mixed Broods (G,B)", "Marsh tit"))
#Second (alternative) method
Success %>%
ggplot() +
geom_col(aes(x = Species, y = n, fill = Species), position = 'identity') +
scale_x_discrete(labels = c("Blue tit", "Coal tit", "Great tit", "Mixed Broods (G,B)", "Marsh tit")) +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 600, by = 50)) +
scale_fill_manual(values=c("dodgerblue", "gray", "chartreuse4", "red", "lightgoldenrod"))+
theme(element_blank())+
ggtitle("Number of nests by species")+
ylab("Number of nests")+
theme(legend.position = "none") +
geom_text(aes(x = Species, y = n, label=n), position=position_dodge(width=0.9), vjust=-0.25) +
geom_col(aes(x = Species, y = Success), position = 'identity', width = 0.7, alpha = 0.6) +
geom_text(aes(x = Species, y = Success, label=Success), position=position_dodge(width=0.9), vjust=1)
