Bar Chart Labels (ggplot2 - Novice)

[TomG888]

Hi

This is my first time using R studio, so please bear with me.

The number above the shaded stack is correct but I want to change the number on the exposed stack to 277. How do I do this?

Also, how do I change the individual colour of the individual bars, ie one pink and one purple?

Thanks
Tom

Hi!

To help us help you, could you please prepare a reproducible example (reprex) illustrating your issue? Please have a look at this guide, to see how to create one:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2…

Can you please help me?

@TomG888

my_data <- read.csv("geum_data.csv")

We don't have access to your local files, we need sample data on a copy/paste friendly format, please read the guide on the link I gave you and try to make a proper reproducible example.

exposure seedling.count
1 Shaded 76
2 Exposed 277

We can't copy from a screenshot and since you are asking people to invest their time helping you, the polite thing to do (here and in most programming related forums) is to provide a reproducible example to make helping you easier.

well im struggling to do that because im not good with computers, thats why im here

[andresrcs]

Even a try would be better than just posting a screenshot. I'm going to make the extra effort this time, since this is your first time here but have in mind that if you keep asking questions here, you are going to have to learn how to properly ask for help with a reprex at some point.

library(ggplot2)

# Sample data on a copy/paste friendly format
my_data <- data.frame(
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
          exposure = c("Shaded", "Exposed"),
    seedling.count = c(76, 277)
)

ggplot(my_data, aes(exposure, seedling.count, fill = exposure)) +
    geom_col(width = 0.5) +
    geom_text(aes(label = seedling.count),
              position=position_dodge(width=0.9),
              vjust=-0.25) +
    labs(x = "Exposure",
         y = "Seedling Count avg.",
         fill = "Exposure") +
    scale_fill_manual(values = c("pink", "purple")) +
    theme(axis.title.y = element_text(margin = margin(t = 0, r = 10, b = 0, l = 0)))
