Raster-like timeseries graph in ggplot2
4
I'm trying to recreate a graph like the one here using ggplot2.
I can get pretty close if I mess around with the size and shape of points using coord_equal, but...
Example data and code
library(ggplot2)
df <- data.frame()
Years <- 1990:2020
for(i in 1:length(Years)) {
Year <- Years[i]
week <-1:52
value <- sort(round(rnorm(52, 50, 30), 0))
df.small <- data.frame(Year = Year, week = week, value = value)
df <- bind_rows(df, df.small)
}
ggplot(df, aes(week, Year, color = value)) +
geom_point(shape = 15, size = 2.7) +
scale_color_gradientn(colours = rainbow(10)) +
coord_equal()
The problem is,
with my real data I want to "stretch" the graph so I can see it more clearly (my timeseries is shorter) and when I don't use coord_equal, squares don't fill the graphing area:
ggplot(df, aes(week, Year, color = value)) +
geom_point(shape = 15, size = 2.7) +
scale_color_gradientn(colours = rainbow(10))
r ggplot2 time-series raster

This is amazing. I use colorblind-friendly colors in all my publications... why would I do anything less on SO? Thanks for the reminder, Tung :)

Yes! I just didn't know you could use geom_raster without spatial info. This is a real "face-palm" moment, but I really appreciate the help!!
