How can I make the plotting area the same in these two plots?
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data=iris, mapping = aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width)) + geom_point()
ggplot(data=iris, mapping = aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, col=Species)) + geom_point()
The goal is to overlay plots in an animation and I want the spacing to all be the same.
One way to reserve the space is to allow the legend to be created as it would be in the second plot but to set all the legend elements to be invisible against the background.
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data=iris, mapping = aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, color = Species)) +
geom_point() +
scale_color_manual(values = rep("black", 3)) +
theme(legend.key = element_rect(fill = "white"), legend.text = element_text(color = "white"), legend.title = element_text(color = "white")) +
guides(color = guide_legend(override.aes = list(color = NA)))
ggplot(data=iris, mapping = aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, color = Species)) +
geom_point()
