R Stacked Histogram
Dear Jason,
Have a look at scale_y_continuous() and scale_fill_discrete(). This might work (untested as your example is not reproducible with a (dummy) dataset).
qplot(Age, data = recerts_combined_values, binwidth = 5, fill = combined_values$Test.Type, main="Combined Age Histogram") + scale_x_continuous("Age, months") + scale_y_continuous("Counts") + scale_fill_discrete("Type of Tests")
HTH,
Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

Onderwerp: Re: [R] R Stacked Histogram
Great advice.? I did a quick read and came up with the following:
?
qplot(Age, data = recerts_combined_values, binwidth = 5,
???????? fill = combined_values$Test.Type,
???????? ylab="Counts", xlab="Age, months",?
???????? main="Combined Age Histogram",
???????? legend.name = "Type of Tests")
Unfortunatley, here is a description of the results:
(1) the "main" title font size by default is too large and is clipped by the image (guess I need to figure out how to fix this),
(2) ylab appears to fail - it does not replace the default "count" label - what should I do to fix this?
(3) like (2), neither using "legend.name" nor "legend.title" appears to replace/change the name of the legend title/name.?
?
By any chance can you provide some advice for tackeling these items?? These are probably due to me being a noobie on the ggplot2 package.?
?
Thanks again.

Understood. Will head the warning about odd way to display data. Any recommendations about where I look to find full details about
"qplot".
I tried ?qplot, but it did not return full details. That description was missing a few items, e.g. fill, which is used below.
The best place to start is the qplot chapter of the ggplot2 book - http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/book Regards, Hadley
