I'm currently using the ggplot package to plot a histogram of normal variates with a N(0, 1) density overlay. I'm very new to this package and the code I'm using is x = rnorm(1000) qplot(x, geom = 'blank') + geom_histogram(aes(y = ..density.., colour = 'Histogram'), legend = FALSE, binwidth = 0.5, fill = "blue") + stat_function(fun = dnorm, aes(colour = 'Density'))+ scale_x_continuous('x', limits = c(-4, 4))+ opts(title = "Histogram with Overlay")+ scale_colour_manual(name = 'Legend', values = c('darkblue', 'red')) + scale_y_continuous('Frequency')+ opts(legend.key=theme_rect(fill="white",colour="white"))+ opts(legend.background = theme_rect()) This code produces the following diagram. How do I change the legend so that the line representing the histogram is replaced with a filled blue box (that represents the bars of the histogram)? Thank You! ![Histogram With Overlay][1] [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/7neAx.png
also check out geom_density(). Easier than stat_function(...) IMHO.
