Re: [R] ggplot2 geom_bar arrangement

In the general case it is not possible to do as you ask because "Lab" can be duplicated. However, in your specific case it is unique in your data frame, so you just have to control the order of the factor labels instead of letting them be set up in the default manner. Of course, you have to be

Re: [R] ggplot2 geom_bar arrangement

The order the bars are plotted in is determined by the levels in a factor, and your labels are treated as a factor. You can make sure you keep the order of your labels by simply doing this: Lab <- factor(Lab, levels = Lab) before constructing the data frame. Cheers On 27 Jun 2017, 20.43

Re: [R] ggplot2 geom_bar arrangement

You just have to change the levels of the factor ... library(ggplot2) Lab = c(letters[4:6], letters[1:3]) valuex = c(3.1,2.3,0.4,-0.4,-1.2,-4.4) df <- data.frame(Lab,valuex) # set the factor levels to the same order as observed in the data frame df$Lab <- factor(df$Lab, levels=unique(df$Lab))

[R] ggplot2 geom_bar arrangement

Hi, I was trying to draw a geom_bar plot. However, by default, the bars are arranged according to the label, which I don't want. I want the bars to appear exactly as they appear in the data frame. For example in the code: Lab=c(letters[4:6],letters[1:3]) valuex = c(3.1,2.3,0.4,-0.4,-1.2,-4.4)
