Can outlier points be colored the same as box fill color?
Minard-Smith, Angela T
I have been trying to get my outlier point colors to match the fill color of my boxes in a ggplot2 boxplot. I found the update_geom_defaults function and have used it but now the points match the default color scheme as shown in the plot image:
What I want is for the outlines of the boxes to match the fill colors and for the outlier points to also match the fill colors. So a green box will have green outliers, a blue box will have blue outliers etc.. I have attached an example dataset. Here is the code I am using:
update_geom_defaults("point", list(color = NULL))
ggplot(plotdata, aes(Locus, proportion, color = variable, fill = variable))+
geom_boxplot(width = 0.6)+
scale_fill_manual("Sample", values = c("green", "blue", "red"), labels = c("C", "S", "U"))+
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1, vjust = .5), plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))
I also tried changing the update_geom_default to:
update_geom_defaults("point", list(color = c("green", "blue", "red")))
but this had no effect on the colors in the plot.
Note that in the end I do not need two legends for my plot so if there is also a way to not display the second legend I would like to know how to do that as well.
Thank you,
Angela
