how to make single stacked bar chart in ggplot2
We can create a dummy variable to group all enteries into one group and then use geom_bar
to create a stacked bar plot and use geom_text
to name the Proportions
.
library(ggplot2)
#Dummy group variable
Ancestry$row <- 1
#Create a label variable
Ancestry$percent <- (Ancestry$Proportion/sum(Ancestry$Proportion)) * 100
ggplot(Ancestry, aes(x = row,y = Proportion, fill = Race)) +
geom_bar(stat="identity") +
geom_text(aes(label = percent),
position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5))
You need to create a dummy variable for x-axis. Then use geom_col
which is similar to geom_bar(stat = "identity")
to plot the stacked barplot + geom_text
to put the text on the bar.
The plot you showed used theme_economist
from the ggthemes
package.
library(tidyverse)
Ancestry <- data.frame(Race = c("European", "African American", "Asian", "Hispanic", "Other"),
Proportion = c(40, 30, 10, 15, 5))
Ancestry <- Ancestry %>%
mutate(Year = "2006")
ggplot(Ancestry, aes(x = Year, y = Proportion, fill = Race)) +
geom_col() +
geom_text(aes(label = paste0(Proportion, "%")),
position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5)) +
scale_fill_brewer(palette = "Set2") +
theme_minimal(base_size = 16) +
ylab("Percentage") +
xlab(NULL)
library(ggthemes)
ggplot(Ancestry, aes(x = Year, y = Proportion, fill = Race)) +
geom_col() +
geom_text(aes(label = paste0(Proportion, "%")),
position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5)) +
theme_economist(base_size = 14) +
scale_fill_economist() +
theme(legend.position = "right",
legend.title = element_blank()) +
theme(axis.title.y = element_text(margin = margin(r = 20))) +
ylab("Percentage") +
xlab(NULL)
