Hello,
I am new to ggplot. Please forgive my ignorance!
I have patient data such that each individual is a row and then the attributes are in columns. So for example:
Subj Time Height Weight WBC Plt
1 1 9 4 4 150
1 2 10 5 6 200
1 3 11 6 5 250
1 4 12 7 3 200
2 1 4 2 7 300
2 2 5 4 8 450
2 3 6 6 6 300
2 4 8 8 5 200
3 1 6 6 4 455
3 2 8 8 5 344
3 3 9 9 6 544
3 4 10 10 3 213
I would like to show the data as a time course for height , weight, WBC, and plt for each patient but in parallel and ultimately as a matrix of time courses for all the subjects with each patient a row and the time course graph for height weight WBC plt as individual columns.
So something like this
Subj 1 Height time course(TC) Weight TC WBC TC Plt TC
Subj 2 Height time course(TC) Weight TC WBC TC Plt TC
Subj 3 Height time course(TC) Weight TC WBC TC Plt TC
Ultimately I would like to be able to sort and reorder the order of the subject rows (so each row would become like a facet).
Could somebody give me a hint as to how or where to start looking to figure this out? I suspect it involves a layer for each time course, but how does one move the time course for say weight over so that it does not overly that for height?
Thanks in advance!
George
