If else in ggplot + switching values between character and numeric for geom_vline

Question

我需要在 ggplot 中集成 if else 块，根据 variable_to_switch 的值，它将：

如果值为数字 -> 绘图线
值为文本 -> 不绘制线

我以最完整的版本提供我的代码，以考虑到与提供的解决方案可能存在的冲突。

如果variable_to_switch == "Text"我会出现这个错误： Error: Discrete value supplied to continuous scale.

对于 variable_to_switch 等于任何数值绘图有效。

我想在 variable_to_switch 的字符值和数值之间切换。
对于 variable_to_switch == "Text" 情况下的期望输出：

Answer 1

如评论中所述，主要问题是数据框 metrics_test 中的 xintercept 列包含数字和文本。数据框列只能包含一种变量类型，文本不能是数字，因此该列将始终是 chr 类型，而不是 num 类型。然后，您将此列分配给 geom_vline() 调用中的 xintercept 美学，这是错误消息的来源。

如果您提供 不包含 metrics_test$xintercept 中的文本值的数据框子集，您可以通过将列强制为数字类型 - 只要该列不再包含任何文本。在您的示例代码中，如果您将代码的第一部分替换为以下内容，它将正常工作而不会出现错误：

# your code prior to the if/then statement...

if(variable_to_switch == "Text"){
  
  d <- metrics_test[c(6,7,9),]    # temporary data frame
  d$xintercept <- as.numeric(d$xintercept)
  
  histo_density_plot <- histo_density_plot +
    
    geom_vline(aes(xintercept = xintercept, color = label),
               data = d, linetype = "dashed", size = 0.5, alpha = 1,
               key_glyph = draw_key_text) +

    # the rest of the if then statement and code continues as you have it..
