helper function to create nice legends
1 | pretty_legend(gg, last_vals, xmin, fontsize = 13)
|
gg |
ggplot2 object |
last_vals, |
data frame with columns label, colour, last_vals (i.e. place label with colour at y-coordinate last_vals) |
xmin |
Numeric, x axis position at which labels should be placed |
fontsize |
Integer, fontsize |
Another ggplot2 object
This replaces the default legend of a ggplot2 object. In particular, given a ggplot2 object ,it removes the existing legend and then places new labels based on the annotation data frame 'last_vals' (see parameter description) at a given x-coordinate of the original plot.
This function can be attributed to and is described in more detail in the following blog post: http://www.r-bloggers.com/coloring-and-drawing-outside-the-lines-in-ggplot/
