R Cook Book tropf ABSTRACT My personal recipes when using R ⟨https:// r‐project.org/⟩. 1. Intro I use R mainly for plotting and some data post‐process‐ ing. This document collects some tricks I encountered and use. For plotting I use ggplot2 ⟨https://github.com/ tidyverse/ggplot2/⟩, which ist assumed to exist in these ex‐ amples. A variable p is typically a ggplot2 plot object. 2.

Adjust the aesthetic used. p <‐ p + guides(fill=guide_legend(override.aes=list(fill=NA))) + theme(legend.text=element_text(color="#00000000"), legend.title=element_text(color="#00000000")) 21 June 2023
