No one has mentioned using negative inset values for legend. Here is an example, where the legend is to the right of the plot, aligned to the top (using keyword “topright”). # Random data to plot: A <- data.frame(x=rnorm(100, 20, 2), y=rnorm(100, 20, 2)) B <- data.frame(x=rnorm(100, 21, 1), y=rnorm(100, 21, 1)) # Add extra … Read more
Set show.legend = FALSE in geom_text: ggplot(data = iris, aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width, colour = Species, shape = Species, label = Species)) + geom_point() + geom_text(show.legend = FALSE) The argument show_guide changed name to show.legend in ggplot2 2.0.0 (see release news). Pre-ggplot2 2.0.0: With show_guide = FALSE like so… ggplot(data = iris, aes(x … Read more
Since @Etienne asked how to do this without melting the data (which in general is the preferred method, but I recognize there may be some cases where that is not possible), I present the following alternative. Start with a subset of the original data: datos <- structure(list(fecha = structure(c(1317452400, 1317538800, 1317625200, 1317711600, 1317798000, 1317884400, 1317970800, … Read more
There are a number of ways to do what you want. To add to what @inalis and @Navi already said, you can use the bbox_to_anchor keyword argument to place the legend partially outside the axes and/or decrease the font size. Before you consider decreasing the font size (which can make things awfully hard to read), … Read more
