#' @name aes_colour_fill_alpha | ||
#' | ||
#' This page demonstrates the usuage of a subgroup | ||
#' of aesthetics; colour, fill and alpha. | ||
#' | ||
#' @examples | ||
#' | ||
#' # Bar chart example | ||
#' c <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl))) | ||
#' # Default plotting | ||
#' c + geom_bar() | ||
#' # To change the interior colouring use fill aesthetic | ||
#' c + geom_bar(fill = "red") | ||
#' # Compare with the colour aesthetic which changes just the bar outline | ||
#' c + geom_bar(colour = "red") | ||
#' # Combining both, you can see the changes clearer | ||
#' c + geom_bar(fill = "white", colour = "red") | ||
#' | ||
#' # The aesthetic fill also takes different colouring scales | ||
#' # setting fill equal to a factor varible uses a discrete colour scale | ||
#' k <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl), fill = factor(vs))) | ||
#' k + geom_bar() | ||
#' | ||
#' # Fill aesthetic can also be used with a continuous variable | ||
#' m <- ggplot(movies, aes(x = rating)) | ||
#' m + geom_histogram() | ||
#' m + geom_histogram(aes(fill = ..count..)) | ||
#' | ||
#' # Some geoms don't use both aesthetics (i.e. geom_point or geom_line) | ||
#' b <- ggplot(economics, aes(x = date, y = unemploy)) | ||
#' b + geom_line() | ||
#' b + geom_line(colour = "green") | ||
#' b + geom_point() | ||
#' b + geom_point(colour = "red") | ||
#' | ||
#' # For large datasets with overplotting the alpha | ||
#' # aesthetic will make the points more transparent | ||
#' df <- data.frame(x = rnorm(5000), y = rnorm(5000)) | ||
#' h <- ggplot(df, aes(x,y)) | ||
#' h + geom_point() | ||
#' h + geom_point(colour = alpha("black", .5)) | ||
#' h + geom_point(colour = alpha("black", 1/10)) | ||
#' | ||
#' # Alpha can also be used to add shading | ||
#' j <- b + geom_line() | ||
#' j | ||
#' yrng <- range(economics$unemploy) | ||
#' j <- j + geom_rect(aes(NULL, NULL, xmin = start, xmax = end, fill = party), | ||
#' ymin = yrng[1], ymax = yrng[2], data = presidential) | ||
#' j | ||
#' j + scale_fill_manual(values = alpha(c("blue", "red"), .3)) |
