Distplots in ggplot2

How to make Distplots in ggplot2 with Plotly.

New to Plotly?

Plotly is a free and open-source graphing library for R. We recommend you read our Getting Started guide for the latest installation or upgrade instructions, then move on to our Plotly Fundamentals tutorials or dive straight in to some Basic Charts tutorials.

Basic Density Plot

library(plotly)

library(ggplot2)
set.seed(1234)

dfGamma = data.frame(nu75 = rgamma(100, 0.75),
           nu1 = rgamma(100, 1),
           nu2 = rgamma(100, 2))

dfGamma = stack(dfGamma)

p <- ggplot(dfGamma, aes(x = values)) +
  stat_density(aes(group = ind, color = ind),position="identity",geom="line")

fig <- ggplotly(p)

Density & Facet

library(plotly)

require(plyr)
dd<-data.frame(matrix(rnorm(144, mean=2, sd=2),72,2),c(rep("A",24),rep("B",24),rep("C",24)))
colnames(dd) <- c("x_value", "Predicted_value",  "State_CD")

dd <- data.frame(
  predicted = rnorm(72, mean = 2, sd = 2),
  state = rep(c("A", "B", "C"), each = 24)
)

grid <- with(dd, seq(min(predicted), max(predicted), length = 100))
normaldens <- ddply(dd, "state", function(df) {
  data.frame(
    predicted = grid,
    density = dnorm(grid, mean(df$predicted), sd(df$predicted))
  )
})

p <- ggplot(dd, aes(predicted))  +
  geom_density() +
  geom_line(aes(y = density), data = normaldens, colour = "red") +
  facet_wrap(~ state)

fig <- ggplotly(p)

Multiple Density Plot

library(plotly)

carrots <- data.frame(length = rnorm(100000, 6, 2))
cukes <- data.frame(length = rnorm(50000, 7, 2.5))

#Now, combine your two dataframes into one.  First make a new column in each.
carrots$veg <- 'carrot'
cukes$veg <- 'cuke'

#and combine into your new data frame vegLengths
vegLengths <- rbind(carrots, cukes)

#now make your lovely plot
p <- ggplot(vegLengths, aes(length, fill = veg)) + geom_density(alpha = 0.2)

fig <- ggplotly(p)

Stacked Density Plot

library(plotly)
set.seed(123)

df <- data.frame(x <- rchisq(1000, 5, 10),
                 group <-  sample(LETTERS[1:5], size = 1000, replace = T))

p <- ggplot(df, aes(x, fill = group)) + 
  geom_density(alpha = 0.5, position = "stack") + 
  ggtitle("stacked density chart")

fig <- ggplotly(p)
