As mentioned before, one of the big advantages of ggplot2
is that you can change nearly all elements according your individual needs. In the following section, we will show you some ways to customize your visualizations.
A very handy feature of ggplot2
is the way you can subset data. Just add a subset function call to your graph to just visualize certain values. The subset you want to visualize can be set for all geoms
:
ggplot(iris) %+% subset(iris,Species == "setosa") + geom_point(aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width))
Otherwise, you can set it for one geom
in your graph:
ggplot(iris,aes(x = Sepal.Length,y = Sepal.Width,color = Species)) + geom_point(data = subset(iris, Species %in% c("setosa","virginica")))
