ggplot图例中的虚线

我想设置我的传奇的线型。

我的数据如下:

  VisitMonth VisitYear CaixaForum MNAC   FirstDay
  1:         01      2007         NA 7125 2007-01-01

我想绘制CaixaForum和MNAC专栏的时间系列。我有以下代码:

ggplot(data = MUSEUMS, aes(x = FirstDay, y = MNAC)) + 
  geom_line(size=0.75, aes(x = FirstDay, y = MNAC, colour = "MNAC")) + 
  geom_line(size=0.75, aes(y = CaixaForum, colour = "CaixaForum"), linetype = "dashed") + 
  labs(title = "", x = "", y = "Monthly Visitors") +  theme_bw() + 
  theme(legend.title = element_text(size=16, face="bold"),  legend.direction = "horizontal",
        legend.position=c(0.5, 1.05), text = element_text(size=20)) + 
  scale_colour_manual(name="Legend",values=c(MNAC="black", CaixaForum="black")) 

如您所见,您无法区分图例中的两种线型:

我该如何修复?

我在stackoverflow中编写了其他答案,但它们没有用。

您可以在两个点图层中切换为使用linetype而不是color,因为您实际上并未使用color来处理图片中的任何内容。

看起来像这样:

ggplot(data = MUSEUMS, aes(x = FirstDay, y = MNAC)) + 
    geom_line(size=0.75, aes(x = FirstDay, y = MNAC, linetype = "MNAC")) + 
    geom_line(size=0.75, aes(y = CaixaForum, linetype = "CaixaForum")) + 
    labs(title = "", x = "", y = "Monthly Visitors") +  theme_bw() + 
    theme(legend.title = element_text(size=16, face="bold"),  legend.direction = "horizontal",
            legend.position=c(0.5, 1.05), text = element_text(size=20)) + 
    scale_linetype_manual(name="Legend",values=c(MNAC="solid", CaixaForum="dashed")) 

如果您真的想要使用现在出于某种原因使用的方法,可以通过override.aes中的guide_legend获得您想要的行,方法是在图片中添加以下行:

guides(color = guide_legend(override.aes = list(linetype = c("solid", "dashed"))))

我创建了一些随机数据来演示解决方案......

library(reshape2)
df <- data.frame(a=rnorm(10), b=rnorm(10), x=1:10, other_data=rnorm(10))
mdf <- melt(df, id.vars='x', measure.vars=c('a','b'))
ggplot(mdf, aes(x, value, linetype=variable)) + geom_line()

我遇到了同样的问题。我认为这与图例线太小而无法显示破折号有关。添加:

theme(legend.key.size=unit(3,"lines"))

帮我修好了。
