In this article, we are going to discuss making histogram bars to have different colors in Plotly in R Language. The Histogram is defined as the bar graph representation of data along the x-axis. The plotly package contains plot_ly() function which is used to visualize different plots in R like scatter plots, histogram,pie chart etc,.
Syntax: plot_ly(df,type,marker,layout)
Where,
- df -dataframe
- type – used to specify the type of plot we want to visualize
- marker – used to mark the plot with different colors using color attribute
- layout – Contain attributes that are used to modify the properties of layout like Title etc,.
Create a histogram with different colors
First, we need to install and load the required package and then create the sample data frame which contains a vector of numbers. Using plot_ly() function we are going to plot the histogram and using marker attribute and we can specify list of colors we want to plot to different bars.
R
install.packages ( "plotly" )
library (plotly)
df <- c (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
plot_ly (x=df, type= "histogram" ,
marker= list (color= c ( 'green' , 'red' ,
'blue' , 'yellow' ))) %>%
layout (title= "Histogram using Plotly" )
