ggplot2 geom_bar arrangement
The order the bars are plotted in is determined by the levels in a factor, and your labels are treated as a factor. You can make sure you keep the order of your labels by simply doing this: Lab <- factor(Lab, levels = Lab) before constructing the data frame. Cheers

Hi, I was trying to draw a geom_bar plot. However, by default, the bars are arranged according to the label, which I don't want. I want the bars to appear exactly as they appear in the data frame. For example in the code: Lab=c(letters[4:6],letters[1:3]) valuex = c(3.1,2.3,0.4,-0.4,-1.2,-4.4) df <- data.frame(Lab,valuex) px <- ggplot(df,aes(Lab,valuex,label=Lab)) + geom_text(aes(y=0)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity") px The default arranges the bars in order 'a' through 'f', but I want them arranged as per df. How can I do this? thanks! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
