How to draw a path with directlabels using two different dataframes
I am new to ggplot2 and am unable to add straight decal labels to contour plot. I want to draw a plot with geom_point and stat_contour. A scatter plot and a contour plot have different data, respectively. I want to add labels to a path with directlabels.
Using the following script, I am getting the graph without directlabels appropriately, but directlabel is returning the following error. error: stat_contour requires the following missing aefici: x, y, z
library(ggplot2)
library(directlabels)
library(akima)
dat<- NULL
dat$x<- c(-1.0, 0.0, 1.0)
dat$y<- c(-0.5, 0.0, 0.5)
dat$z<- matrix(c(0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.3,0.4,0.3,0.4,0.4),ncol=3)
dat0<-cbind( expand.grid(dat$x,dat$y),c(dat$z))
colnames(dat0) <- c("x", "y", "z")
dat0<-data.frame(dat0)
nDivX <- 6
nDivY <- 6
z.cubic <- with(dat, bicubic.grid(x=x,y=y,z=z, xlim=c(min(x),max(x)),ylim=c(min(y),max(y)),dx=(max(x)-min(x))/nDivX,dy=(max(y)-min(y))/nDivY) )
z.cubic<-cbind( expand.grid(z.cubic$x,z.cubic$y),c(z.cubic$z))
colnames(z.cubic) <- c("x", "y", "z")
z.cubic<-data.frame(z.cubic)
p0 <- ggplot(NULL)
p1 <- geom_point(data=dat0, aes(x=x,y=y) )
p <- p0 +p1 + stat_contour(data=z.cubic, aes(x=x, y=y, z=z , colour=..level..))
#without directlabels
dev.new()
print(p)
#with directlabels
dev.new()
direct.label(p)
Providing two different dataframes can cause problems, but I want to give separate data because the data for the outline in my work is relatively large comparing it for the storyline.
Thank you for your help!
I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like the problem is how direct.label
your first call is handled ggplot(NULL)
. Most likely, he is looking for the necessary aesthetics, but cannot find them.
You can fix it here:
pp0 <- ggplot(dat0, aes(x=x, y=y, z=z)) + geom_point()
pp <- pp0 + stat_contour(data=z.cubic, aes(x=x, y=y, z=z, colour=..level..))
and both now print(pp)
and direct.label(pp)
work as expected.
Update
By viewing the source code, I found a way to fix the problem by adding the following line directly in front of the latter in direct.label.ggplot
: dlgeom$mapping <- c(dlgeom$mapping, L$mapping)
.
Update 2
Toby Hawking (a proponent of the package) responded to my post and as it turns out the package has indeed been updated to the version directlabels_2014.6.13
in R-Forge that @ user3357659 correctly pointed out. Actually the idea I propose here as a workaround for the deprecated version directlabels_2013.6.15
is already implemented there.
upgrade your directlabels to R-Forge version
install.packages("directlabels", repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org")
