ggplot2 Plotting time series Ploting time series
Example
This example illustrates how to plot a time series of temperature from a csv data file.
library(ggplot2)
# Original data not provided, see subset/plotted data below
datos.orig<-read.csv("data.csv",header=TRUE) # read csv data
# Change dates to POSIXct
fecha<-as.data.frame(as.POSIXct(datos.orig$Fecha))
# Build a new and shorter data frame for temperature
datos.graf<-cbind.data.frame(fecha,datos.orig$Temp_Max,datos.orig$Temp_Min)
colnames(datos.graf)<-c("fecha","TMax","Tmin")
# Plot
ggplot() +
geom_line(data=datos.graf,aes(x=fecha, y=TMax),colour="red") +
geom_line(data=datos.graf,aes(x=fecha, y=Tmin),colour="blue") +
ylab("Temperature axis title") +
xlab(" ") +
scale_x_datetime(
expand=c(0,0), # avoid blank space around plot
date_breaks = "1 month", # main axis breaks
date_labels="%d/%m/%Y") + # axis labels date format
scale_y_continuous(expand=c(0,0), limits=c(-10,40)) +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 60, hjust = 1)) +
ggtitle("Temperature main title") +
theme(plot.title = element_text(size=10, vjust=0.5, hjust=0.5))
