How to correctly specify a column as the fill colour in geom

I can't seem to be able to set different fill colours for geom_ribbon(), using one of the columns as input to fill

library(ggplot2)
time <- as.factor(c('A','B','C','D'))
grouping <- as.factor(c('GROUP1','GROUP1','GROUP1','GROUP1',
                        'GROUP2','GROUP2','GROUP2','GROUP2'))
x <- c(1.00,1.03,1.03,1.06,0.5,0.43,0.2,0.1)
x.upper <- x 0.05
x.lower <- x-0.05

df <- data.frame(time, x, x.upper, x.lower,grouping)


ggplot(data = df,aes(as.numeric(time),x,group=grouping,color=grouping))  
  geom_ribbon(data = df, aes(x=as.numeric(time), ymax=x.upper, ymin=x.lower),     
              fill=grouping, alpha=.5)  
  geom_point()   labs(title="My ribbon plot",x="Time",y="Value")  
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = 1:4, labels = levels(df$time))

I get the error Error: Unknown colour name: grouping but fill=c("pink","blue") works fine. I don't want to specify the colours manually.

All other examples I can find simply list the column in the fill argument so I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly.

CodePudding user response：

Move fill = grouping inside aes so that this column is mapped to the fill variable.

ggplot(data = df, aes(as.numeric(time), x, color = grouping))  
  geom_ribbon(data = df, aes(ymax = x.upper, ymin = x.lower,     
              fill = grouping), alpha = 0.5)  
  geom_point()   
  labs(title = "My ribbon plot", x = "Time", y = "Value")  
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = 1:4, labels = levels(df$time))
