Question

我在x轴上有因子，并以一种直观的方式用ggplot绘制这些因子水平。它工作正常。但是，当我在ggplot中使用subset命令时，它会重新排序我原始的因子序列。是否可以在ggplot中进行子集化并保留因子级别的顺序？

以下是数据和代码：

library(ggplot2)
library(plyr)
dat <- structure(list(SubjectID = structure(c(12L, 4L, 6L, 7L, 12L, 
7L, 5L, 8L, 14L, 1L, 15L, 1L, 7L, 1L, 7L, 5L, 4L, 2L, 9L, 6L, 
7L, 13L, 12L, 2L, 15L, 3L, 5L, 13L, 13L, 10L, 7L, 8L, 10L, 10L, 
1L, 10L, 12L, 7L, 6L, 10L), .Label = c("s001", "s002", "s003", 
"s004", "s005", "s006", "s007", "s008", "s009", "s010", "s011", 
"s012", "s013", "s014", "s015"), class = "factor"), Parameter = structure(c(7L, 
3L, 5L, 3L, 6L, 4L, 6L, 7L, 7L, 4L, 7L, 12L, 8L, 11L, 1L, 4L, 
3L, 4L, 6L, 4L, 6L, 6L, 12L, 5L, 12L, 1L, 7L, 13L, 11L, 1L, 4L,

## Sort factors in the order that will make it intuitive to read the plot
## It goes, "(Intercept), "PrevCorr1", "PrevFail1", "c0.004", "c0.006", etc.  
paramNames <- levels(dat$Parameter)
contrastNames <- sort(paramNames[grep("c0",paramNames)])
biasNames <- paramNames[!paramNames %in% contrastNames]
dat$Parameter <- factor(dat$Parameter, levels=c(biasNames, contrastNames))

## Add grouping parameter that will be used to plot different weights in different colors
dat$plotColor <-"Contrast"
dat$plotColor[dat$Parameter=="(Intercept)"] <- "Intercept"
dat$plotColor[grep("PrevCorr", dat$Parameter)] <- "PrevSuccess"
dat$plotColor[grep("PrevFail", dat$Parameter)] <- "PrevFail"

p <- ggplot(dat, aes(x=Parameter, y=Weight)) + 
        # The following command, which adds geom_line to data points of the graph, changes the order of levels
        # If I uncomment the next line, the factor level order goes wrong. 
        #geom_line(subset=.(plotColor=="Contrast"), aes(group=1), stat="summary", fun.y="mean", color="grey50", size=1) + 
        geom_point(aes(group=Parameter, color=plotColor), size=5, stat="summary", fun.y="mean") + 
        geom_point(aes(group=Parameter), size=2.5, color="white", stat="summary", fun.y="mean") + 
        theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=45, vjust=1, hjust=1)) 
print(p)

Here is the plot when geom line is commented

And here is what happens when geom_line is uncommented

如果您切换绘制对象的顺序，问题就会消失：

p <- ggplot(dat, aes(x=Parameter, y=Weight)) + 
  # The following command, which adds geom_line to data points of the graph, changes the order of levels
  # If I uncomment the next line, the factor level order goes wrong. 
  geom_point(aes(group=Parameter, color=plotColor), size=5, stat="summary", fun.y="mean") + 
  geom_line(subset = .(plotColor == "Contrast"), aes(group=1), stat="summary", fun.y="mean", color="grey50", size=1)  +                 
  geom_point(aes(group=Parameter), size=2.5, color="white", stat="summary", fun.y="mean")  +                 
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=45, vjust=1, hjust=1)) 
print(p)

correct plot

我认为问题在于首先绘制子集数据，它会丢弃原始数据的级别，当你重新加入点时，它不知道放在哪里。首先使用原始数据进行绘制时，它会保持水平。我不确定，你可能不得不接受我的话。
