R ggplot2 assigning colours to a factor
15,318
The error comes because you plot:
p + geom_point(aes(colour = factor(z)))
And then try to make a new plot of:
p + scale_colour_manual(values=Palette1)
Which doesn't have any layers in it. Instead, I usually make all my assignments at the time of plotting:
ggpot(df1, aes(x, y, colour=factor(z))) +
geom_point() +
scale_colour_manual(values=Palette1)
Or you can assign your first p + geom_point(...)
to p
:
p <- p + geom_point(...)
Then proceed as you were.

I am trying to plot a scatterdiagram x, y coloured by a factor z (five values) with the colour values assigned by a palette I have tried :
library(ggplot2) Palette1 <- c('red','green','blue','violet','black') p <- ggplot(df1, aes(x,y)) p + geom_point(aes(colour = factor(z))) p + scale_colour_manual(values=Palette1 )
but I get an error message:
Error: No layers in plot
Thank you for your help.
