R programming Graphs

Question

This is my R code, I'm using the output to make some line graphs

    f    x  N       y           sd         se         ci         
1  Carla 1  5 0.577437500 0.538098341 0.240644894 0.668137337

And I tried making line graphs thru the following code:

# Standard error of the mean
ggplot(dfc, aes(x=x, y=y, colour=f)) + 
    geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=y-se, ymax=y+se), width=.1) +
    geom_line() +
    geom_point()

# The errorbars overlapped, so use position_dodge to move them horizontally
pd <- position_dodge(.1) # move them .05 to the left and right

ggplot(dfc, aes(x=x, y=y, colour=f)) + 
    geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=y-se, ymax=y+se), width=.1, position=pd) +
    geom_line(position=pd) +
    geom_point(position=pd)

I want to know if its possible to highlight the area occupied by the standard error

Answer 1

Try this:

ggplot(dfc, aes(x=x, y=y, colour=f, fill=f, ymin=y-se, ymax=y+se)) + 
  geom_ribbon(aes(colour=NULL),alpha=0.5) +
  geom_errorbar(width=.1) +
  geom_line() +
  geom_point() 

Hope this helps!
