Use values without scaling.

Usage

scale_colour_identity(..., guide = "none")

scale_fill_identity(..., guide = "none")

scale_shape_identity(..., guide = "none")

scale_linetype_identity(..., guide = "none")

scale_alpha_identity(..., guide = "none")

scale_size_identity(..., guide = "none")

Arguments

...

Other arguments passed on to discrete_scale or continuous_scale

guide

Guide to use for this scale - defaults to "none".

Examples

ggplot(luv_colours, aes(u, v)) +
  geom_point(aes(colour = col), size = 3) +
  scale_color_identity() +
  coord_equal()


df <- data.frame(
  x = 1:4,
  y = 1:4,
  colour = c("red", "green", "blue", "yellow")
)
ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + geom_tile(aes(fill = colour))

ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) +
  geom_tile(aes(fill = colour)) +
  scale_fill_identity()


# To get a legend guide, specify guide = "legend"
ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) +
  geom_tile(aes(fill = colour)) +
  scale_fill_identity(guide = "legend")

# But you'll typically also need to supply breaks and labels:
ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) +
  geom_tile(aes(fill = colour)) +
  scale_fill_identity("trt", labels = letters[1:4], breaks = df$colour,
  guide = "legend")


# cyl scaled to appropriate size
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) + geom_point(aes(size = cyl))


# cyl used as point size
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +
  geom_point(aes(size = cyl)) +
  scale_size_identity()
