I am currently trying to customize the legend for one of my plots. Unfortunately, my result doesn't look the way I want it to right now. The legend label should be on line with the linetype. But currently it looks like this:
The "Toni" and "Lennart" should be on one level with the strokes and I just can't figure out why they are shifted.
My code looks like this:
colors <- c(Farbe,Farbe)
PlotLine <- ggplot(pp, aes(x, y, color = id, linetype = id))+
theme(axis.line = element_line(colour = Farbe, size = 18),
panel.background = element_rect(fill = "transparent", color = NA),
plot.background = element_rect(fill= "transparent", color = NA),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_blank(),
legend.position = c(0.75,1),
legend.key.size = unit(2, 'cm'),
legend.title = NULL,
legend.key= element_blank(),
legend.background = element_rect(fill = "transparent", colour = NA), # get rid of legend bg
legend.box.background = element_rect(fill = "transparent", colour = NA),
axis.title.x=element_blank(),
#axis.text.x=element_blank(),
axis.ticks.x=element_blank(),
axis.text.y=element_blank(),
axis.ticks.y=element_blank(),
axis.line.x=element_blank(),
axis.line.y=element_blank(),
legend.direction="horizontal"
)+
geom_path(size=2) +
scale_x_datetime(date_labels = "%Y", breaks = scales::pretty_breaks(n = 3), expand = expansion(mult = c(0.02, 0.03)))+
scale_color_manual(labels = paste("<span style='color:",
colors,
"'>",
unique(c(Nutzer1, Nutzer2)),
"</span>"),
values = colors,
guide = guide_legend(
direction = "horizontal",
label.hjust = 0.0))+
scale_linetype_manual(labels = paste("<span style='color:",
colors,
"'>",
unique(c(Nutzer1, Nutzer2)),
"</span>"),
values=c("solid","dotted"))+
xlab("")+
theme(text=element_text(size=72, family="roboto", face="bold"), axis.ticks = element_blank())+
ylab("")+
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(size= 90, colour = "black", margin = margin(t = 10, b = -5)))+
theme(axis.text.y = element_blank(), legend.text = element_markdown(size = 72))+
labs(color=' ',linetype=' ')
I apologize for the cluttered code, I haven't had a chance to clean this up :D
Unfortunately, it is currently not readily possible to export the data so you can reproduce the diagram, I hope it works that way.
Thank you!
