I trying to make boxplots with ggplot2.
The code I have to make the boxplots with the format that I want is as follows:
p <- ggplot(mg_data, aes(x=Treatment, y=CD68, color=Treatment)) +
geom_boxplot(mg_data, mapping=aes(x=Treatment, y=CD68))
p+ theme_classic() + geom_jitter(shape=16, position=position_jitter(0.2))
I can was able to use the following code to make looped boxplots:
variables <- mg_data %>%
select(10:17)
for(i in variables) {
print(ggplot(mg_data, aes(x = Treatment, y = i, color=Treatment)) +
geom_boxplot())
}
With this code I get the boxplots however, they do not have the name label of what variable is being select for the y-axis, unlike the original code when not using the for loop. I also do not know how to add the formating code to the loop:
p + theme_classic() + geom_jitter(shape=16, position=position_jitter(0.2))
>Solution :
Here is a way. I have tested with built-in data set iris, just change the data name and selected columns and it will work.
suppressPackageStartupMessages({
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
})
variables <- iris %>%
select(1:4) %>%
names()
for(i in variables) {
g <- ggplot(iris, aes(x = Species, y = get(i), color=Species)) +
geom_boxplot() +
ylab(i)
print(g)
}
