'How do you add a color criteria to a scatterplot in ggplot2?
I am creating a scatterplot to show the relationship between Very Active Minutes of exercise and Calories burned. In my scatterplot I want the points to be green after 30 minutes of activity. Below is the code I am currently using, but I do not know how to add a criteria to change color.
ggplot(data=daily_activity) +
geom_point(mapping=aes(x=VeryActiveMinutes, y=Calories), color="darkred") +
geom_smooth(mapping=aes(x=VeryActiveMinutes, y=Calories)) +
labs(title="The Relationship Between Very Active Minutes and Calories Burned",
caption = "Data collected from the FitBit Fitness Tracker Data on Kaggle")
Solution 1:[1]
As suggested by @stefan color based on the ifelse statement, and then apply those colours to the graph using scale color identity:
Sample code:
daily_activity %>%
mutate(Color = ifelse(VeryActiveMinutes > 30, "green", "red"))%>%
ggplot(aes(x=VeryActiveMinutes, y=Calories, color=Color)) +
geom_point() +
geom_smooth(mapping=aes(x=VeryActiveMinutes, y=Calories)) +
labs(title="The Relationship Between Very Active Minutes and Calories Burned",
caption = "Data collected from the FitBit Fitness Tracker Data on Kaggle")
