在大型pdf文件的每一页上放置多个图 [英] Putting multiple plots on each page of a large pdf file

问题描述

我正在尝试将数十个ggplot箱形图打印到pdf文件中.我希望每页pdf包含四个图.如何使用for循环创建图并最终得到所需的格式?

I am trying to print dozens of ggplot boxplots to a pdf file. I want four plots per page of the pdf. How can i use a for loop to create the plots and end up with my desired format?

names_vec <- colnames(raw_data)

pdf(file = 'test1.pdf')
for(i in names_vec) {
  print(ggplot(raw_data, aes(x = Group, y = raw_data[[i]])) + 
    geom_boxplot(na.rm = TRUE) + 
    labs(title = i, y = 'Relative Intensity') +
    theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size = 8, angle = 45)))
}

dev.off()

这是我到目前为止所做的.par(mfrow = c(2,2))对我不起作用.同样，grid.arrange似乎与循环策略不兼容.

This is what I've done so far. par(mfrow = c(2,2)) is not working for me. Similarly, grid.arrange doesn't seem to be compatible with the loop strategy.

下面的示例代码:

names_vec <- c('glycine', 'serine', 'alanine', 'threonine')
p <- list()
for(i in names_vec) {
  p[[i]] <- ggplot(raw_data, aes(x = Group, y = raw_data[[i]])) + 
          geom_boxplot(na.rm = TRUE) + 
          labs(title = i, y = 'Relative Intensity') +
          theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size = 8, angle = 45))
}

pdf(file = 'test1.pdf')
multiplot(p[[1]], p[[2]], p[[3]], p[[4]], cols = 2)
dev.off()

不幸的是，这会产生一个页面，其中包含四个相同的图，但标题相同，这是正确的.

Unfortunately, this yields a page with four plots that are identical save the titles, which are correct.

推荐答案

已编辑的响应.这是你所追求的吗?如果没有，请进一步解释.
这似乎是一种情况，即以适当的格式带来数据比摆弄ggplot容易得多.一旦数据为长格式而不是宽格式，就不再需要for循环.这段代码将产生以下图形:

Edited response. Is this what you were after? If not please explain further.
This seems like a case where bringing the data in the proper format is much easier than fiddling with ggplot. Once the data is in the long format instead of wide format the for loop is not necessary anymore. This code produces the following graph:

library(tidyverse)
raw_data = read_delim("stackoverflowdata.csv", col_names = TRUE, delim = ";") %>%
  gather(compound, value, -Group)

ggplot(raw_data,aes(x=Group, y =value)) +
  geom_boxplot(na.rm = TRUE) +
  facet_wrap(vars(compound), scales="free_y") +
  labs(y = 'Relative Intensity') +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size = 8, angle = 45, hjust = 1 ))
