Issue with editing ggplot2 legend

[Adam52]

I have developed a boxplot using the following sample code:

a<- ggplot(na.omit(df1), aes(x=C,
y=E, fill=as.factor(complete),
color=as.factor(complete))) + geom_boxplot()

a + ggtitle("Sample Text") +
ylab("E") + scale_fill_discrete(name = "
Response", labels = c("No", "Yes")) + theme(plot.title =
element_text(face = "bold", hjust=0.5)) + geom_point(position =
position_jitterdodge()) + scale_fill_manual(values = rep(NA, 2))

This results in a sample graph that displays datapoints exactly as I want but results in the legend getting distorted. Is there a way to alter the code to have the legend title as "Response" with "Yes" and 'No" as the legend items?

@Adam52

df1

redefine complete to be a factor variable earlier in your code, rather than inline while you construct the plot ? and have the levels be Yes and No as you want them

Using the {palmer penguins} dataset to make a minimal reproducible example, this approach seems to work:

library(tidyverse)
library(palmerpenguins)
data <- palmerpenguins::penguins %>% 
  mutate(sex_f = factor(sex))

ggplot(data) +
  aes(x = species, y = culmen_length_mm,  color = sex_f) +
  geom_boxplot() +
  geom_point(position = position_jitterdodge()) +
  scale_color_discrete(name = "Sex", labels = c("Female", "Male", "Missing")) 
#> Warning: Removed 2 rows containing non-finite values (stat_boxplot).
#> Warning: Removed 2 rows containing missing values (geom_point).
