Define aesthetic mappings.
Generate aesthetic mappings that describe how variables in the data are mapped to visual properties (aesthetics) of geoms. This function also standardise aesthetic names by performs partial name matching, converting color to colour, and old style R names to ggplot names (eg. pch to shape, cex to size)
aes(x, y, ...)
x, y, ... |
List of name value pairs giving aesthetics to map to variables. The names for x and y aesthetics can be omitted (because they are so common); all other aesthetics must be named. |
See aes_q/aes_string for standard
evaluation versions of aes.
See
aes_colour_fill_alpha, aes_group_order,
aes_linetype_size_shape and aes_position
for more specific examples with different aesthetics.
aes(x = mpg, y = wt) aes(mpg, wt) # You can also map aesthetics to functions of variables aes(x = mpg ^ 2, y = wt / cyl) # Aesthetic names are automatically standardised aes(col = x) aes(fg = x) aes(color = x) aes(colour = x) # aes is almost always used with ggplot() or a layer ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, hwy)) + geom_point() ggplot(mpg) + geom_point(aes(displ, hwy)) # Aesthetics supplied to ggplot() are used as defaults for every layer # you can override them, or supply different aesthetics for each layer
