            Understanding color scales in ggplot2
            Asked 2022-Feb-03 at 17:47

            There are so many ways to define colour scales within ggplot2. After just loading ggplot2 I count 22 functions beginging with scale_color_* (or scale_colour_*) and same number beginging with scale_fill_*. Is it possible to briefly name the purpose of the functions below? Particularly I struggle with the differences of some of the functions and when to use them.

            • scale_*_binned()
            • scale_*_brewer()
            • scale_*_continuous()
            • scale_*_date()
            • scale_*_datetime()
            • scale_*_discrete()
            • scale_*_distiller()
            • scale_*_fermenter()
            • scale_*_gradient()
            • scale_*_gradient2()
            • scale_*_gradientn()
            • scale_*_grey()
            • scale_*_hue()
            • scale_*_identity()
            • scale_*_manual()
            • scale_*_ordinal()
            • scale_*_steps()
            • scale_*_steps2()
            • scale_*_stepsn()
            • scale_*_viridis_b()
            • scale_*_viridis_c()
            • scale_*_viridis_d()

            What I tried

            I've tried to make some research on the web but the more I read the more I get onfused. To drop some random example: "The default scale for continuous fill scales is scale_fill_continuous() which in turn defaults to scale_fill_gradient()". I do not get what the difference of both functions is. Again, this is just an example. Same is true for scale_color_binned() and scale_color_discrete() where I can not name the difference. And in case of scale_color_date() and scale_color_datetime() the destription says "scale_*_gradient creates a two colour gradient (low-high), scale_*_gradient2 creates a diverging colour gradient (low-mid-high), scale_*_gradientn creates a n-colour gradient." which is nice to know but how is this related to scale_color_date() and scale_color_datetime()? Looking for those functions on the web does not give me very informative sources either. Reading on this topic gets also chaotic because there are tons of color palettes in different packages which are sequential/ diverging/ qualitative plus one can set same color in different ways, i.e. by color name, rgb, number, hex code or palette name. In part this is not directly related to the question about the 2*22 functions but in some cases it is because providing a "wrong" palette results in an error (e.g. the error"Continuous value supplied to discrete scale).

            Why I ask this

            I need to do many plots for my work and I am supposed to provide some function that returns all kind of plots. The plots are supposed to have similiar layout so that they fit well together. One aspect I need to consider here is that the colour scales of the plots go well together. See here for example, where so many different kind of plots have same colour scale. I was hoping I could use some general function which provides a colour palette to any data, regardless of whether the data is continuous or categorical, whether it is a fill or col easthetic. But since this is not how colour scales are defined in ggplot2 I need to understand what all those functions are good for.

            This is a good question... and I would have hoped there would be a practical guide somewhere. One could question if SO would be a good place to ask this question, but regardless, here's my attempt to summarize the various scale_color_*() and scale_fill_*() functions built into ggplot2. Here, we'll describe the range of functions using scale_color_*(); however, the same general rules will apply for scale_fill_*() functions.

            Overall Categorization

            There are 22 functions in all, but happily we can group them intelligently based on practical usage scenarios. There are three key criteria that can be used to define practically how to use each of the scale_color_*() functions:

            1. Nature of the mapping data. Is the data mapped to the color aesthetic discrete or continuous? CONTINUOUS data is something that can be explained via real numbers: time, temperature, lengths - these are all continuous because even if your observations are 1 and 2, there can exist something that would have a theoretical value of 1.5. DISCRETE data is just the opposite: you cannot express this data via real numbers. Take, for example, if your observations were: "Model A" and "Model B". There is no obvious way to express something in-between those two. As such, you can only represent these as single colors or numbers.

            2. The Colorspace. The color palette used to draw onto the plot. By default, ggplot2 uses (I believe) a color palette based on evenly-spaced hue values. There are other functions built into the library that use either Brewer palettes or Viridis colorspaces.

            3. The level of Specification. Generally, once you have defined if the scale function is continuous and in what colorspace, you have variation on the level of control or specification the user will need or can specify. A good example of this is the functions: *_continuous(), *_gradient(), *_gradient2(), and *_gradientn().

            Continuous Scales

            We can start off with continuous scales. These functions are all used when applied to observations that are continuous variables (see above). The functions here can further be defined if they are either binned or not binned. "Binning" is just a way of grouping ranges of a continuous variable to all be assigned to a particular color. You'll notice the effect of "binning" is to change the legend keys from a "colorbar" to a "steps" legend.

            The continuous example (colorbar legend):

            I believe the issue you are facing is caused by your applying the crop at presentation level / the actual data underlying your ggplot object is not cropped.

            I suggest applying the crop at data level, for example via sf::st_crop(). In this example I am using the values of your xlim and ylim objects to create a bounding box (called crop_factor for no good reason) to limit the extent of the oz_states at the data level, by creating a new object called oz_cropped & continuing in your original workflow.

            All the centroids and labels and what not will be much better behaved now.

            specify legend colors and labels from columns of data frame
            Asked 2020-Sep-22 at 13:17

            I have a tidy data frame. I want to use it to plot lines via geom_line(). The colors that each line should have are specified in one column of the data frame. The labels that each line should have are specified in another column (which is also the group column). With a data frame like this, what is the most efficient and least error-prone way to specify a plot that has a legend with the right colors and labels?

            Here is a minimal example that does what I want:

            Are you just looking for scale_color_identity? This takes the name of the color in the column and maps it to the color aesthetic. You therefore don't need to specify the color in your ggplot call at all. However, if you want the labels to be species rather than colours, you will need to make sure that you specify the labels argument:

            Is it possible to create a smooth, large geom_line() with varying colors in ggplot2?
            Asked 2020-Jun-09 at 15:21

            I was originally going to use a ribbon for this function, but ribbon was giving me an "Aesthetics can not vary within a ribbon" error. I tried a geom_smooth, geom_ribbon, and geom_line, and none of them worked for what I needed. The picture posted below is what I need, except that I would like those square joints between where the line changes colors to be either vertical and flush or round.
