我使用了以下ggplot命令:

ggplot(survey, aes(x = age)) + stat_bin(aes(n = nrow(h3), y = ..count.. / n), binwidth = 10)
  + scale_y_continuous(formatter = "percent", breaks = c(0, 0.1, 0.2))
  + facet_grid(hospital ~ .)
  + theme(panel.background = theme_blank())

生产

然而,我想将facet标签更改为更短的内容(如Hosp 1, Hosp 2…),因为它们现在太长了,看起来很局促(增加图形的高度不是一个选项,它将占用文档中的太多空间)。我查看了facet_grid帮助页面,但不知道如何操作。


当前回答

在挣扎了一段时间后,我发现我们可以使用fct_relevel()和fct_recode()从forcats结合来改变facet的顺序以及修复facet标签。我不确定它是否被设计支持,但它确实有效!看看下面的图表:

library(tidyverse)

before <- mpg %>%
  ggplot(aes(displ, hwy)) + 
  geom_point() +
  facet_wrap(~class)
before

after <- mpg %>%
  ggplot(aes(displ, hwy)) + 
  geom_point() + 
  facet_wrap(
    vars(
      # Change factor level name
      fct_recode(class, "motorbike" = "2seater") %>% 
        # Change factor level order
        fct_relevel("compact")
    )
  )
after

添加另一个类似于@domi的解决方案,解析数学符号、上标、下标、圆括号/方括号等。

library(tidyverse)
theme_set(theme_bw(base_size = 18))

### create separate name vectors
# run `demo(plotmath)` for more examples of mathematical annotation in R
am_names <- c(
  `0` = "delta^{15}*N-NO[3]^-{}",
  `1` = "sqrt(x,y)"
)

# use `scriptstyle` to reduce the size of the parentheses &
# `bgroup` to make adding `)` possible 
cyl_names <- c(
  `4` = 'scriptstyle(bgroup("", a, ")"))~T~-~5*"%"',
  `6` = 'scriptstyle(bgroup("", b, ")"))~T~+~10~degree*C',
  `8` = 'scriptstyle(bgroup("", c, ")"))~T~+~30*"%"'
)

ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) + 
  geom_jitter() +
  facet_grid(am ~ cyl,
             labeller = labeller(am  = as_labeller(am_names,  label_parsed),
                                 cyl = as_labeller(cyl_names, label_parsed))
             ) +
  geom_text(x = 4, y = 25, size = 4, nudge_y = 1,
            parse = TRUE, check_overlap = TRUE,
            label = as.character(expression(paste("Log"["10"], bgroup("(", frac("x", "y"), ")")))))

### OR create new variables then assign labels directly
# reverse facet orders just for fun
mtcars <- mtcars %>% 
  mutate(am2  = factor(am,  labels = am_names),
         cyl2 = factor(cyl, labels = rev(cyl_names), levels = rev(attr(cyl_names, "names")))
  )

ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) + 
  geom_jitter() +
  facet_grid(am2 ~ cyl2,
             labeller = label_parsed) +
  annotate("text", x = 4, y = 30, size = 5,
           parse = TRUE, 
           label = as.character(expression(paste("speed [", m * s^{-1}, "]"))))

这个解决方案非常接近于@domi,但是它通过获取前4个字母和最后一个数字来缩短名称。

library(ggplot2)

# simulate some data
xy <- data.frame(hospital = rep(paste("Hospital #", 1:3, sep = ""), each = 30),
                 value = rnorm(90))

shortener <- function(string) {
  abb <- substr(string, start = 1, stop = 4) # fetch only first 4 strings
  num <- gsub("^.*(\\d{1})$", "\\1", string) # using regular expression, fetch last number
  out <- paste(abb, num) # put everything together
  out
}

ggplot(xy, aes(x = value)) +
  theme_bw() +
  geom_histogram() +
  facet_grid(hospital ~ ., labeller = labeller(hospital = shortener))

下面是另一个解决方案,它遵循@naught101给出的解决方案的精神,但更简单,也没有在ggplot2的最新版本上抛出警告。

基本上,首先创建一个命名字符向量

hospital_names <- c(
                    `Hospital#1` = "Some Hospital",
                    `Hospital#2` = "Another Hospital",
                    `Hospital#3` = "Hospital Number 3",
                    `Hospital#4` = "The Other Hospital"
                    )

然后将它用作标签器,只需修改@naught101给出的最后一行代码

... + facet_grid(hospital ~ ., labeller = as_labeller(hospital_names))

更改底层因子级别的名称,如下所示:

# Using the Iris data
> i <- iris
> levels(i$Species)
[1] "setosa"     "versicolor" "virginica" 
> levels(i$Species) <- c("S", "Ve", "Vi")
> ggplot(i, aes(Petal.Length)) + stat_bin() + facet_grid(Species ~ .)

如果你有两个面医院和房间,但只想重命名其中一个,你可以使用:

facet_grid( hospital ~ room, labeller = labeller(hospital = as_labeller(hospital_names)))

使用基于矢量的方法重命名两个面(如naught101的答案),你可以这样做:

facet_grid( hospital ~ room, labeller = labeller(hospital = as_labeller(hospital_names),
                                                 room = as_labeller(room_names)))
