r - 组织时间序列图的x轴比例

Question

在这里，我的数据如下所示：

# Data
df <- data.frame("Hospital" = c("Buge Hospital", "Buge Hospital", "Greta Hospital", "Greta Hospital",
                                "Makor Hospital", "Makor Hospital"),
                 "Period" = c("Jul-18","Aug-18", "Jul-19","Aug-19", "Jul-20","Aug-20"),
                 "Medical admissions" = c(12,56,0,40,5,56),
                 "Surgical admissions" = c(10,2,0,50,20,56),
                 "Inpatient admissions" = c(9,5,6,0,60,96))

现在这个数据有一个名为 period 的列，它是不同年份的月度数据，2018、2019 和 2020

如果我绘制这些数据，这就是它的样子

library(ggplot2
# Melt data into long format
df2 <- melt(data = df,
                id.vars = c("Hospital","Period"), 
                measure.vars = names(df[3:5]))

# Stacked barplot
ggplot( df2, aes(x = Period, y = value, fill = variable, group = variable)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
  theme(legend.position = "none") +
  ggtitle(unique(df2$Hospital))+
  scale_x_date(date_labels = %Y)+
  labs(x = "Month", y = "Number of People", fill = "Type")

它绘图很好，但 x 轴没有按升序排列，我尝试使用scale_x_date函数，但绘图仍然相同。我想要的是 2018 年开始的几个月，然后是 2019 年和 2020 年的几个月。我的意思是 x 轴要根据像这样 Aug-18、Jul-18、Aug-19、Jul-这样的年份按升序排列19 日，8 月 20 日，7 月 20 日。

要解决您的问题，您需要将 Period 转换为日期格式。

例如，您可以使用包中parse_date的函数lubridate：

library(lubridate)
library(tidyr)
library(dplyr)

df %>% mutate(Date = parse_date(as.character(Period), format = "%b-%y")) %>%
  pivot_longer(cols = Medical.admissions:Inpatient.admissions, names_to = "Var", values_to = "Val")

# A tibble: 18 x 5
   Hospital       Period Date       Var                    Val
   <fct>          <fct>  <date>     <chr>                <dbl>
 1 Buge Hospital  Jul-18 2018-07-01 Medical.admissions      12
 2 Buge Hospital  Jul-18 2018-07-01 Surgical.admissions     10
 3 Buge Hospital  Jul-18 2018-07-01 Inpatient.admissions     9
 4 Buge Hospital  Aug-18 2018-08-01 Medical.admissions      56
 5 Buge Hospital  Aug-18 2018-08-01 Surgical.admissions      2
 6 Buge Hospital  Aug-18 2018-08-01 Inpatient.admissions     5
 7 Greta Hospital Jul-19 2019-07-01 Medical.admissions       0
 8 Greta Hospital Jul-19 2019-07-01 Surgical.admissions      0
 9 Greta Hospital Jul-19 2019-07-01 Inpatient.admissions     6
10 Greta Hospital Aug-19 2019-08-01 Medical.admissions      40
11 Greta Hospital Aug-19 2019-08-01 Surgical.admissions     50
12 Greta Hospital Aug-19 2019-08-01 Inpatient.admissions     0
13 Makor Hospital Jul-20 2020-07-01 Medical.admissions       5
14 Makor Hospital Jul-20 2020-07-01 Surgical.admissions     20
15 Makor Hospital Jul-20 2020-07-01 Inpatient.admissions    60
16 Makor Hospital Aug-20 2020-08-01 Medical.admissions      56
17 Makor Hospital Aug-20 2020-08-01 Surgical.admissions     56
18 Makor Hospital Aug-20 2020-08-01 Inpatient.admissions    96

因此，您可以使用scale_x_date在 x 轴上设置适当的标签选项：

library(lubridate)
library(tidyr)
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)

df %>% mutate(Date = parse_date(as.character(Period), format = "%b-%y")) %>%
  pivot_longer(cols = Medical.admissions:Inpatient.admissions, names_to = "Var", values_to = "Val") %>%
  ggplot(aes(x = Date, y = Val, fill= Var, group = Var))+
  geom_col()+
  scale_x_date(date_breaks = "month", date_labels = "%b %Y")+
  labs(x = "Month", y = "Number of People", fill = "Type")+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1))

它回答了你的问题吗？

编辑：使用`lubridate v1.7.8

在lubridate1.7.8 版上，parse_date不再存在。您必须按parse_date_time以下方式替换它：

library(lubridate)
library(dplyr)

df %>% mutate(Date = ymd(parse_date_time2(as.character(Period), orders = "%b-%y"))) %>% ....
