Outrageous Ggplot Line Plot By Group

Drsimonj here to share my approach for visualizing individual observations with group means in the same plot.

Ggplot line plot by group. The group argument tells ggplot which observations belong together and should be connected through lines. An R script is available in the next section to install the package. Its important to keep this idea of layering in mind as we gradually build the plot.

So I am motivated to filter data and map colour only on that using dplyr. It can also be used to customize quickly the plot parameters including main title axis labels legend background and colors. By default ggplot2 uses the combination of all categorical variables in the plot to group geoms - that doesnt work for this plot because you get an individual line for each point.

P. Basic Line Plot libraryplotly dat1. I find these sorts of plots to be incredibly useful for visualizing and gaining insight into our data.

First it is necessary to summarize the data. Setup To start well set up a blank plot canvas with relevant x and y-axes using ggplot. Creating a scatter plot by group in ggplot2 is straightforward as you only need to pass the categorical variable to the color argument of aes.
