Adjust color of geom_vline in ggplot based on group-CodePudding

So I am creating density plot for Sepal.Length for two species of the iris-dataset. The graph looks like this:

As you can see, I added two measures of central tendency to the graph (Median and Mean). However, right now they are colored depending on the measure (i.e., Median = black, Mean = grey).

I want to change the colors so that mean and median for Setosa/Versicolor have the same color. Furthermore, I want to add a legend indicating color and linetype for mean/median of setosa/versicolor. So in the end I would have a legend with four parts: Median Setosa, Mean Setosa, Median Versicolor, Mean Versiocolor.

Does anyone know how to do this? Please see code for reproduction below:

library(ggplot2)
library(tidyverse)

iris <- iris %>%
  filter(Species == c("setosa", "versicolor"))

temp <- iris %>% 
  group_by(Species) %>%
  dplyr::summarize(Mean = mean(Sepal.Length, na.rm=TRUE))

temp_2 <- iris %>% 
  group_by(Species) %>%
  dplyr::summarize(Median = median(Sepal.Length, na.rm=TRUE))

ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Length, fill = factor(Species)))  
  geom_density(alpha = 0.5)  
  theme_minimal()  
  geom_vline(data=temp, aes(xintercept=Mean, color="Mean"),
             linetype="dotted", 
             lwd=1)  
  geom_vline(data=temp_2, aes(xintercept=Median, color="Median"),
             linetype="dashed", 
             lwd=1)  
  scale_color_manual(name = "Statistics", values = c(Median = "black", Mean = "grey50"))   
  labs(title = "Distribution of Sepal.Length",
       x = "Sepal.Length",
       y = "Density",
       fill = "Species")

CodePudding user response：

This is relatively complex. You would need to map the linetype and color of the lines to the interaction of Species and a string denoting median or mean, than specify manual scales appropriately:

ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Length, fill = factor(Species)))  
  geom_density(alpha = 0.5)  
  theme_minimal()  
  geom_vline(data=temp, aes(xintercept=Mean, 
                            color = interaction(Species, 'Mean'),
                            linetype = interaction(Species, 'Mean')),
             lwd = 1, key_glyph = draw_key_path)  
  geom_vline(data=temp_2, aes(xintercept=Median, 
                              color = interaction(Species, 'Median'),
                              linetype = interaction(Species, 'Median')),
             lwd=1,  key_glyph = draw_key_path)  
  scale_linetype_manual(values = c(setosa.Mean = 'dotted', 
                                   setosa.Median = 'dashed',
                                   versicolor.Mean = 'dotted',
                                   versicolor.Median = 'dashed'),
                        name = 'Averages')  
  scale_color_manual(values = c(setosa.Mean = "#F8766D", 
                                   setosa.Median = "#F8766D",
                                   versicolor.Mean = "#00BFC4",
                                   versicolor.Median = "#00BFC4"),
                     name = 'Averages')  
  labs(title = "Distribution of Sepal.Length",
       x = "Sepal.Length",
       y = "Density",
       fill = "Species")  
  theme(legend.key.width = unit(15, 'mm'))
