Grouping

In ggplot2 using the group function we will create different groups and visualize the data in different groups.

Function

Description

group

Group the data based on a variable or a combination of variables.

aes(group = variable)

Assign a specific grouping variable within the aes() function to control how observations are grouped.

geom_line()

Connects points in the plot with lines, using the grouping variable specified in aes(group = variable).

geom_path()

Connects points in the plot with lines, without considering the grouping variable specified in aes(group = variable).

geom_smooth()

Fits a smooth line or curve to the data, considering the grouping variable specified in aes(group = variable).
