Change Point Colors for Different Lines in ggplot2 Graph in R (Example Code)
This tutorial explains how to adjust the point colors for different lines in ggplot2 line and point graph in R programming.
Setting up the Example
data(iris) # Loading example data frame head(iris) # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa |

install.packages("ggplot2") # Install ggplot2 package library("ggplot2") # Load ggplot2
ggplot(iris, # Graphic without any colors aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Petal.Length, group = Species)) + geom_line() + geom_point() |
ggplot(iris, # Graphic without any colors aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Petal.Length, group = Species)) + geom_line() + geom_point()
Example: Adjusting the Color of Points in a ggplot2 Line & Point Plot by Group
ggplot(iris, # Change color of scatterplot points by group aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Petal.Length, group = Species)) + geom_line() + geom_point(aes(col = Species)) |
ggplot(iris, # Change color of scatterplot points by group aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Petal.Length, group = Species)) + geom_line() + geom_point(aes(col = Species))
