Create a matrix of scatterplots (pairs() equivalent) in ggplot2
Is it possible to plot a matrix of scatter plots with ggplot2
, using ggplot
's nice features like mapping additional factors to color, shape etc. and adding smoother?
I am thinking about something similar to the base
function pairs
.
You might want to try plotmatrix:
library(ggplot2)
data(mtcars)
plotmatrix(mtcars[,1:3])
to me mpg (first column in mtcars) should not be a factor. I haven't checked it, but there's no reason why it should be one. However I get a scatter plot :)
Note: For future reference, the plotmatrix()
function has been replaced by the ggpairs()
function from the GGally
package as @naught101 suggests in another response below to this question.
I keep wanting to do this, but plotmatrix is crap. Hadley recommends using the GGally package instead. It has a function, ggpairs that is a vastly improved pairs plot (lets you use non-continuous variables in your data frames). It plots different plots in each square, depending on the variable types:
library(GGally)
ggpairs(iris, aes(colour = Species, alpha = 0.4))
If one wants to obtain a ggplot
object (not ggmatrix
as in case of ggpairs()
), the solution is to melt the data twice, then ggplot
with facetting. facet_wrap
would be better than facet_grid
in limiting the plotted area, given the scales = 'free'
parameter is supplied.
require(ggplot2)
require(dplyr)
require(tidyr)
gatherpairs <- function(data, ...,
xkey = '.xkey', xvalue = '.xvalue',
ykey = '.ykey', yvalue = '.yvalue',
na.rm = FALSE, convert = FALSE, factor_key = FALSE) {
vars <- quos(...)
xkey <- enquo(xkey)
xvalue <- enquo(xvalue)
ykey <- enquo(ykey)
yvalue <- enquo(yvalue)
data %>% {
cbind(gather(., key = !!xkey, value = !!xvalue, !!!vars,
na.rm = na.rm, convert = convert, factor_key = factor_key),
select(., !!!vars))
} %>% gather(., key = !!ykey, value = !!yvalue, !!!vars,
na.rm = na.rm, convert = convert, factor_key = factor_key)
}
iris %>%
gatherpairs(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, Petal.Length, Petal.Width) %>% {
ggplot(., aes(x = .xvalue, y = .yvalue, color = Species)) +
geom_point() +
geom_smooth(method = 'lm') +
facet_wrap(.xkey ~ .ykey, ncol = length(unique(.$.ykey)), scales = 'free', labeller = label_both) +
scale_color_brewer(type = 'qual')
}
