using color as an additional variable in ggplot2

[myazdani]

I am trying to plot an additional variable using colour:

p = ggplot(mds, aes(x = coord.1, y = coord.2, label = City, colour = Division)) + geom_text()

This works fine in Rstudio and produces:

FYI, the head of my data looks like this

head(mds)
State City coord.1 coord.2 X2013.rank Division
1 Alabama HUNTSVILLE 1.561284 0.2228790 126 East South Central
2 Alabama MOBILE 6.088862 0.8343259 122 East South Central
3 Alabama BIRMINGHAM 9.978292 -3.6507234 101 East South Central
4 Alabama MONTGOMERY 15.454877 -4.8520206 111 East South Central
5 Arizona TUCSON 23.225289 -0.4438650 33 Mountain
6 Arizona PEORIA -7.283954 9.1252792 149 Mountain

Thanks!!

Hi @myazdani

Thanks for the very well documented feedback :)

Please reinstall "plotly" to upgrade to version 0.5.16 and it should work now.

devtools::install_github("ropensci/plotly")
library(plotly)
packageVersion("plotly")

py <- plotly()
p <- ggplot(mds, aes(x=coord.1, y=coord.2, label=City, colour=Division)) + geom_text()
py$ggplotly(p)

Looking at your beautiful screenshot, I'm curious how you got that plotly plot directly from R, since colour was not supported before... ;)

Thank you so much for the updates!
