ggplot2 fill gaps by joining a line and no symbol-CodePudding

I would like to have a chart that connects missing points by a line, but not show a symbol at the missing point. Here is some code that creates some test data and produces a chart, but I would like a (id=B) green line joining points 4 and 6 with a straight line, but no green triangle at time 5. I did try geom_path instead of geom_line, but nothing much changed. Thanks

library(ggplot2)

set.seed(1)
x <- rep(seq(1:10), 3)
y <- c(runif(10), runif(10)   1, runif(10)   2)
group <- c(rep("A", 10), rep("B", 10), rep("C", 10))

df <- data.frame(cbind(group, x, y))
df$x <- as.numeric(df$x)
df$y <- as.numeric(df$y)
df[15,]$y <- NA

ggplot(data=df, aes(x=x, y=y, group=group))  
  geom_line(aes(colour=group)) 
  geom_point(aes(colour=group, shape=group)) 
  scale_shape_manual(values = c(1:3))  
  theme(legend.position="bottom")

You can do this by removing rows where y is NA:

df2 <- df[!is.na(df$y), ]

ggplot(data=df2, aes(x=x, y=y, group=group))  
  geom_line(aes(colour=group)) 
  geom_point(aes(colour=group, shape=group)) 
  scale_shape_manual(values = c(1:3))  
  theme(legend.position="bottom")

library(tidyverse)

# form some data
set.seed(1)
x <- rep(seq(1:10), 3)
y <- c(runif(10), runif(10)   1, runif(10)   2)
group <- c(rep("A", 10), rep("B", 10), rep("C", 10))

df <- tibble(group=group, x = x, y = y)

# add an NA
df[15,]$y <- NA

# plot with a gap where the NA is
p1 <-  # p1 fails because of NA 
  ggplot(data=df, aes(x=x, y=y, group=group))  
  geom_line(aes(colour=group)) 
  geom_point(aes(colour=group, shape=group)) 
  scale_shape_manual(values = c(1:3))  
  theme(legend.position="bottom")

# plot with no gap
p2 <- p1 % % {df %>% na.omit()}  # p2 does what you want

p1

p2
