ggplot2不要图例_删除ggplot2中的额外图例

I have a simple data frame that I'm trying to do a combined line and point plot using ggplot2. Supposing my data looks like this:

df

group=c(rep("a",10),rep("b",10)))

And I'm trying to make a plot:

g

g

g

g

The result looks fine with one exception. It has an extra legend showing the alpha for my geom_point layer.

How can I keep the legend showing group colors, but not the one that shows my alpha settings?

Aesthetics can be set or mapped within a ggplot call.

An aesthetic defined within aes(...) is mapped from the data, and a legend created.

An aesthetic may also be set to a single value, by defining it outside aes().

In this case, it appears you wish to set alpha = 0.8 and map colour = group.

To do this,

Place the alpha = 0.8 outside the aes() definition.

g

g

g

g

For any mapped variable you can supress the appearance of a legend by using guide = 'none' in the appropriate scale_... call. eg.

g2

geom_line(aes(colour = group)) +

geom_point(aes(colour = group, alpha = 0.8))

g2 + scale_alpha(guide = 'none')

Which will return an identical plot

@Joran's comment is spot-on, I've made my answer more comprehensive
