r - 水平线； y 轴作为因子 : ggplot2

Question

如果我的 y 变量有一个因子，并尝试在 facet_grid 中使用 geom_hline，我会得到一个错误:

p <- qplot(mpg, factor(sample(c("a", "b", "c", "d"), nrow(mtcars), T)), data=mtcars, facets = vs ~ am)

hline.data <- data.frame(z = factor(c("a", "b", "c", "d")), vs = c(0,0,1,1), am = c(0,1,0,1))
p + geom_hline(aes(yintercept = z), hline.data)

## > p + geom_hline(aes(yintercept = z), hline.data)
## Error in x - from[1] : non-numeric argument to binary operator

为什么会出现错误，我该如何解决？

PS 我可以通过将其转换为数字来修复它，如下所示:

hline.data <- data.frame(z = factor(c("a", "b", "c", "d")), vs = c(0,0,1,1), am = c(0,1,0,1))

qplot(mpg, as.numeric(factor(sample(c("a", "b", "c", "d"), nrow(mtcars), T))), data=mtcars, facets = vs ~ am) + 
    geom_hline(aes(yintercept = as.numeric(z)), hline.data)

但我丢失了所需的因子标签。

一个修复方法是添加一个数字版本的 z，而不是转换它

hline.data <- data.frame(z = factor(c("a", "b", "c", "d")), vs = c(0,0,1,1), 
                         am = c(0,1,0,1))

## add numeric version of `z` as a new variable 
hline.data <- transform(hline.data, z0 = as.numeric(z))

p <- qplot(mpg, factor(sample(c("a", "b", "c", "d"), nrow(mtcars), T)), 
           data=mtcars, facets = vs ~ am)
p + geom_hline(aes(yintercept = z0), hline.data)
