I have 24 groups that I have plotted using geom_line in ggplot2. I was wondering whether there is a quick way to change the colour of one of those particular groups to black without specifying the colours of the other 23?

My code:

ggplot(max, aes(x = dap,y = cf, group=variables, colour = variables)) +
                  geom_line(size=0.5)

  • Yep - that is what I'm using... but I want to try and not specify the colours of every other group and just override the colour of just one. – user2726449 Apr 09 '14 at 15:31

    If you know the order of the groups (they're factors, so it shld be easy to do that) then you can use `rep` to generate the vector of colors and just substitute one color in the position of the one you want to highlight. i.e. `line.cols – hrbrmstr Apr 09 '14 at 15:33
  • I could but I still want the other groups to be different colours. – user2726449 Apr 09 '14 at 15:42
