plot many dfs in ggplot

Hi all,

I have another question. There are several dataframes, each has the same
columns: time, varA, varB, varC, etc. If I want to plot time ~ varA of each
dataframe, where different dataframe names use different colors. How to do
this in ggplot? Thanks for your help.

Right now, I tried to use the code below, but very laborious, and needs
colors manually.

fig1 = ggplot()+
    geom_path(data=df1, aes(x=time, y= varA, color= 'df1'))+
    geom_path(data=df2, aes(x=time, y= varA, color= 'df2'))+
    geom_path(data=df3, aes(x=time, y= varA, color= 'df3'))+
    ...
    scale_color_manual('', limits=c('df1', 'df2', 'df3', ...),
values=c('blue', red', 'green', ...))
show(fig1)
#
Another question is, if I want to shade the range between the maximum and
minimum values for daily or annual values, how to do it? Thanks again.

Hi.

Hm. I would add a column indicating data frame and merge/rbind all data frames.

Something like

df1$fr <- 1
df2$fr <- 2

dfkompl <- rbind(df1, df2)

ggplot(dfkompl, aes(x=time, y=varA, colour=factor(fr))

Cheers
Petr

Thanks, but rbind/merge function only combines two dataframes each time,
how to work on multiple dataframes? Thanks again.

Not quite - this works: rbind(df1, df2, df3, df1, df2, df3)

Or if the have your data.frames in a list, use do.call:

df.lst <- list(df1, df2, df3, df1, df2, df3)
do.call(rbind, df.lst)

You might take a look at the facet functionality in ggplot once you are
ready to build your plots.

Best,
Ulrik

Thanks. How to add an additional column, with the name of each dataframe's
name?

Hi

And if you have your data frames in list you could add easily a name of those data frames to rbinded result as R automagically uses data frame names as row names.
$df1
  a
1 1

$df2
  a
1 2

$df3
   a
1 56
a
df1  1
df2  2
df3 56
So you can add them as new column.
a dat
df1  1 df1
df2  2 df2
df3 56 df3
Cheers
Petr
