I am using the autoplot()
function to add ellipsis and polygons to my PCA plot in R, my colour palette for the points is the color.brewer 'Set2'
palette. When I am filling my ellipsis with geom='polygon'
, I want the polygon fill colour to be the same as the colour of the points they are covering, so as to match the palette I am using.
However I get a "'mapping' must be creates using aes()"
or "Aesthetics are not valid data columns"
error.
I'm a novice in R so any help would be very much appreciated.
autoplot(pca_data + aes(color = group)+ # colours
ggtitle('Principal Component Analysis')+ # title
theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))+ #centred title
stat_ellipse(lwd = 0.75,
linetype = 2,
geom='polygon',
aes(fill = group),
alpha = 0.25,
show.legend = F,
level = 0.8) +
scale_color_brewer(palette = "Set2")) # ellipsis
This is my current working and will only fill the polygons to match the default colours of the PCA plot, and not to the color palette I want to use
