Customizing Bar Patterns with ggplot2: A Step-by-Step Guide
To modify your ggplot2 code to include patterns in the bars, we can use ggpattern::geom_bar_pattern instead of geom_bar. This will allow us to add a pattern aesthetic (aes(pattern = Time)) and then set a scale for that pattern using scale_pattern_discrete. Here is how you can modify your code: library(ggplot2) library(ggpattern) ggplot(example, aes(x=Type, y=value, fill=Time))+ ggpattern::geom_bar_pattern(aes(pattern = Time), stat="identity", position="dodge", color="black",alpha = 1, width=0.8) + geom_errorbar(aes(ymax=value+sd, ymin=value-sd), position=position_dodge(0.8), width=0.25, color="black", alpha=0.5, show.
