Question

I have a question regarding the use of ggplot. I have the following data.frame, and a constant. I'm using the following function and I managed to make my plot but I can not print the legend, what am I doing wrong?

this function would I use to get the plot:

LINER_GRAPH_POWER_LIST_VALUES<-function(DF_N_EPC_AND_FOUND_EPC, DF_READ_EXTERNAL_LIST_EPC_TAGS ){
  require(ggplot2)
  ggplot(DF_N_EPC_AND_FOUND_EPC, aes(x=power_value, y=total_epc), colour = variables) +
  geom_line(color="red") +
  geom_point(color="red", shape=20) +
  geom_line(aes(x=power_value, y=found_epc), color="blue") +
  geom_point(aes(x=power_value, y=found_epc), color="blue", shape=20) +
  geom_hline(yintercept=nrow(DF_READ_EXTERNAL_LIST_EPC_TAGS), color="green")+
  scale_colour_manual(values = c("total_epc"="red","epc_found"="blue", "num_of_list_reference_tags"="green"))
}

the plot enter image description here

And the data.frame -> DF_N_EPC_AND_FOUND_EPC

    power_value total_epc   found_epc
1   31.5    9   5
2   31.0    7   4
3   30.5    6   4
4   30.0    7   4
5   29.5    8   5
6   29.0    9   5
7   28.5    8   5
8   28.0    9   5
9   27.5    8   4
10  27.0    7   4
11  26.5    8   5
12  26.0    7   5
13  25.5    5   4
14  25.0    5   4
15  24.5    5   4
16  24.0    4   3
17  23.5    4   3
18  23.0    4   3
19  22.5    4   3
20  22.0    4   3

I'm using scale_colour_manual, as you can see, but the legend of the graph does not appear

Was it helpful?

Solution

In order to do that, you will have to transform your data from wide to long format.

# reading the data
df <- read.table(text="nr    power_value total_epc   found_epc
1   31.5    9   5
2   31.0    7   4
3   30.5    6   4
4   30.0    7   4
5   29.5    8   5
6   29.0    9   5
7   28.5    8   5
8   28.0    9   5
9   27.5    8   4
10  27.0    7   4
11  26.5    8   5
12  26.0    7   5
13  25.5    5   4
14  25.0    5   4
15  24.5    5   4
16  24.0    4   3
17  23.5    4   3
18  23.0    4   3
19  22.5    4   3
20  22.0    4   3", header=TRUE)

# from wide to long format
require(reshape2)
df.m <- melt(df, id=c("power_value","nr"), measure=c("total_epc","found_epc"), variable.name="epc")

# creating the plot
ggplot(df.m, aes(x=power_value, y=value, color=epc)) +
  geom_line() +
  geom_point() +
  geom_hline(yintercept=6, color="green")

the result: enter image description here
