test<-data.frame(a=c('1','1','2','2'),b=c(2,-2,4,-3),d=c('m','n','m','n'))
p+geom_bar(position=position_dodge(),stat='identity',fill='deeppink',colour='black',width=0.5)
I have a barplot, i woule like to fill the plot backgroup with 2 different colours with respect to the b values (> 0 and < 0) or factor d (m and n) in the data.
Is it possible in ggplot2?
EDIT: Misunderstood question of OP --- Using panels and geom_rect you can approach to some extent what you want. Some more tweaking may be necessary but ideally you have your own ideas. See here for a similar question: Conditional formatting of panel background in GGplot2
EDIT2: introduced another variable (panel) thus faceting occurs no longer on the basis of b and looks nicer
require(ggplot2)
test<-data.frame(a=c('1','1','2','2'),b=c(2,-2,4,-3),d=c('m','n','m','n'))
x <- rep(seq(1,2),2)
test$panel <- x
test$colorindicator = ifelse(test$b<0,"negative","positive")
p=ggplot(data=test,aes(x=a,y=b))
p = p + geom_rect(aes(fill = colorindicator), xmin = -Inf, xmax = Inf, ymin = -Inf, ymax = Inf, alpha = 1)
p = p + geom_bar(fill='deeppink',color="black",position=position_dodge(),stat='identity',width=0.5)
p = p + facet_grid(.~panel,scales="free")
print(p)
@CMichael, thanks a lot. from your answer, i have got exactly what i want after a lit modification.
require(ggplot2)
test<-data.frame(a=c('1','1','2','2'),b=c(2,-2,4,-3),d=c('m','n','m','n'))
p=ggplot(data=test,aes(x=a,y=b))
p = p + geom_rect(fill = 'red', xmin = -Inf, xmax = Inf, ymin =0, ymax = Inf, alpha =0.05)
p = p + geom_rect(fill = 'green', xmin = -Inf, xmax = Inf, ymin =-Inf, ymax = 0, alpha =0.05)
p = p + geom_bar(fill='deeppink',color="black",position=position_dodge(),stat='identity',width=0.5)
print (p)
