Stylizing the appearance of facet labels with ggplot2's facet_wrap (CC236)

How do you change the appearance of facet labels in the ggplot2 R package? In this episode of Code Club, Pat shows you how to change the location, appearance, and labels within facet labels when using ggplot2's facet_wrap function. He'll also show how you can alter the order of the facets in your figure. The overall goal is to show the amount and probability of precipitation throughout the year using NOAA data from his local weather station

True to form, it's been super dry the last few weeks and then last night we got an inch of rain - 25 mm!

Mean(prcp > 0) 🤯…I learn something new in everyone one of your videos!

[@Riffomonas]

🤓love it! Thanks for watching

[@JJ0145]

Fantastic video!! Please do more of these types of videos

[@Riffomonas]

I'll see about circling back to data viz types of videos. I've made a bunch of them and am not sure what I might have missed 😂

[@josenavarrete6151]

I really like your videos. They have helped me a lot. Thanks

[@eric13hill]

Listening to you describe what you are doing and why teaches me so much more than looking at at someone's finalized code. I learn something valuable each time you make a video. I'm struggling updating one dataframe with a partial set of updated values of the same columns from another dataframe. I get errors if there are some index values in one dataframe but not in the other, or if there are NA values. I haven't found the right combination of functions to achieve a good merge of MY data.

Thanks! I guess I’d suggest trying to whittle things down to a minimal example that shows your problem and then try to solve it. In these situations I usually find just the process of simplifying things helps me to think through what’s wrong and what I need to do

@@Riffomonas This was how I finally did it. fixed % left_join(df2, by = c('INDEX'), suffix = c('', '.y')) %>% mutate(Lat_AND_Long = coalesce(Lat_AND_Long, Lat_AND_Long.y)) %>% mutate(Latitude = coalesce(Latitude,Latitude.y)) %>% mutate(Longitude = coalesce(Longitude,Longitude.y)) %>% mutate(Website = coalesce(Website,Website.y)) %>% select(-c(Lat_AND_Long.y)) %>% select(-c(Latitude.y)) %>% select(-c(Longitude.y)) %>% select(-c(Website.y))

Fantastic tutorial!

[@Riffomonas]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video🤓

[@haraldurkarlsson1147]

Nice! I prefer to go with a theme instead of tinkering too much. The "tufte" theme from the ggthemes package is nice and minimalist. To each its own!

[@frant5248]

Great examples! Would anyone know how one would you put red vertical lines at different x-intercept positions for each facet?

[@ikrambashir8604]

Hi, thanks for the video. How can I add symbols to the individual strip title of facrt_wrap ?

[@waelbadawy2857]

Great as usual. May I ask you to let me know, how I can get the code script?
