使用ggplot2，qplot或其他绘制多个y变量的箱线图

Question

我正在寻找用x = season和function = event绘制许多y变量的箱线图的方法。我想把所有的情节画在一起，如：

拳头情节：x =季节，y = var1 by function = event 第二个图：x = season，y = var1，by fuction = event ..

我的数据如下所示。实际上，我有很多变数。

    event     season      var1      var2     var3
1  event_free wet.summer 14.193489 16.786347 22.65968
2  event_free       fall  3.209114  9.948187 15.44799

11 event_free     winter  7.383920  7.418910 11.85094
12      event     winter 17.011810 20.320714 44.18071
13      event     spring 12.501078 14.260404 39.08531
14      event     spring 26.224773 32.536549 46.90560

我发现很多方法可以使用ggplot2或qplot来绘制一个y变量和一个函数（例如：event，here），但是找不到如何为多个y变量绘制多个绘图。
非常感谢你的帮助！！

Answer 1

以下是ggplot2：

的方法

library(reshape2)
library(ggplot2)

# Assume your data frame is named dat
dat.m = melt(dat, id.var=c("event","season"))
dat.m$season = factor(dat.m$season, levels=c("winter", "spring","wet.summer","fall"))

# If you want the two levels of event plotted side by side
ggplot(dat.m, aes(season, value, colour=event)) +
  facet_grid(. ~ variable) +
  geom_boxplot(width=0.7)

# If you want the levels of event to be faceted (plotted in separate panels)
ggplot(dat.m, aes(season, value)) +
  facet_grid(event ~ variable) +
  geom_boxplot()
