library(ggplot2)Program - 15
Create multiple histograms using ggplot2:: facet wrap() to visualize how a variable (e.g Sepal. Length) is distributed across different groups (e.g. Species) in a built-in R dataset.
Reqirements
Before proceeding , make sure you have the ggplot2 package installed.
Step 1: Load and Explore the Dataset.

Develop an R function to draw a density curve representing the probability density function of a continuous variable, with separate curves for each group, using ggplot2.
Step 1: Load the Required Library.
library(ggplot2)Step 2: Define a Function.
plot_density_by_group <- function(data, continuous_var, group_var, fill_colors = NULL) {
# Check if the specified columns exist
if (!(continuous_var %in% names(data)) || !(group_var %in% names(data))) {
stop("Invalid column names. Make sure both variables exist in the dataset.")
}
p <- ggplot(data, aes_string(x = continuous_var, color = group_var, fill = group_var)) +
geom_density(alpha = 0.4) +
labs(title = paste("Density Plot of", continuous_var, "by", group_var),
x = continuous_var,
y = "Density") +
theme_minimal()
if (!is.null(fill_colors)) {
p <- p + scale_fill_manual(values = fill_colors) +
scale_color_manual(values = fill_colors)
}
return(p)
}Step 3: Example with Built-in iris Dataset
plot_density_by_group(iris, "Sepal.Length", "Species")Warning: `aes_string()` was deprecated in ggplot2 3.0.0.
ℹ Please use tidy evaluation idioms with `aes()`.
ℹ See also `vignette("ggplot2-in-packages")` for more information.
Step 4: Example with Custom Colors
custom_colors <- c("setosa" = "steelblue",
"versicolor" = "forestgreen",
"virginica" = "darkorange")
plot_density_by_group(iris, "Petal.Length", "Species", fill_colors = custom_colors)
