adding geom_point to a geom_rect chart in ggplot2

I have the following dataframe and chart created using ggplot2

library(tidyverse)

df <- structure(list(Key = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 
2L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 5L, 5L, 5L, 5L, 6L, 6L, 6L,

10L, 10L, 11L, 11L, 11L, 11L), levels = c("GC23", "GC24", "GC25", 
"GC26", "GC27", "GC28", "GC30", "GC35", "GC45", "GC48", "GC50"
), class = "factor"), Quartile = structure(c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 
1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L,

1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L), levels = c("1", "2", "3", "4"

247, 289.6, 400.9)), row.names = c(NA, -44L), class = c("tbl_df", 
"tbl", "data.frame"))

p <- ggplot() +
  geom_rect(data = df, aes(xmin = (as.numeric(Key) -0.25), xmax = (as.numeric(Key) + 0.25), ymin = min, ymax = max, fill = Quartile)) +

  theme_bw() +
  labs(y = 'Basis Points') +
  scale_fill_manual(values = c('red','orange', 'yellow', 'green'))

I have an additional dataframe with point values for each of the variables in Key that I would like to add as a geom_point

df2 <- structure(list(Key = structure(1:11, levels = c("GC23", "GC24", 
"GC25", "GC26", "GC27", "GC28", "GC30", "GC35", "GC45", "GC48", 
"GC50"), class = "factor"), max = c(131.8, -47.2, -12.2, 36.1000000000001, 
67.3, 27.4999999999999, 119, 133, 235.3, 287.6, 303.3), Quartile = structure(c(1L, 
1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), levels = "Today", class = "factor")), row.names = c(NA, 
-11L), class = c("tbl_df", "tbl", "data.frame"))

p + geom_point(data = df2, aes(x = Key, y = max, col = 'black'))

However that gives me the following error.

Error: Discrete value supplied to continuous scale

Any way around this? Ultimately, I’m trying to replicate this chart

>Solution :

You need to also apply as.numeric() to Key when using df2

p + geom_point(data = df2, aes(x = as.numeric(Key), y = max), col = 'black')
