Plot a combination matrix instead of the standard x-axis and create UpSet plots with ggplot2.
You can install the released version of ggupset from CRAN with:
# Download package from CRAN
install.packages("ggupset")
# Or get the latest version directly from GitHub
devtools::install_github("const-ae/ggupset")This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

dataset from ggplot. It contains a list of all movies in IMDB, their
release data and other general information on the movie. It also
includes a list column that contains annotation to which
genre a movie belongs (Action, Drama, Romance etc.)

many movies are in each genre and their combination. For example there
are slightly more than 1200 Dramas in the set, more than 1000 which
don’t belong to any genre and ~170 that are Comedy and Drama.

The best feature about ggupset is that it plays well
with existing tricks from ggplot2. For example, you can
easily add the size of the counts on top of the bars with this trick
from stackoverflow

Often enough the raw data you are starting with is not in such a neat
tidy shape. But that is a prerequisite to make such ggupset
plots, so how can you get from wide dataset to a useful one? And how to
actually create a list-column, anyway?
Imagine we measured for a set of genes if they are a member of certain pathway. A gene can be a member of multiple pathways and we want to see which pathways have a large overlap. Unfortunately, we didn’t record the data in a tidy format but as a simple matrix.
A ficitional dataset of this type is provided as
gene_pathway_membership variable
data("gene_pathway_membership")

The first important idea is to realize that a list column is just as good as a character vector with the list elements collapsed

tidy_movies %>%
distinct(title, year, length, .keep_all=TRUE) %>%
mutate(Genres_collapsed = sapply(Genres, function(x) paste0(sort(x), collapse = "-"))) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=Genres_collapsed)) +
geom_bar() +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=90, hjust=1, vjust=0.5))
Because the process of collapsing list columns into delimited strings
is fairly generic, I provide a new scale that does this automatically
(scale_x_mergelist()).
tidy_movies %>%
distinct(title, year, length, .keep_all=TRUE) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=Genres)) +
geom_bar() +
scale_x_mergelist(sep = "-") +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=90, hjust=1, vjust=0.5))
But the problem is that it can be difficult to read those labels.
Instead I provide a third function that replaces the axis labels with a
combination matrix (axis_combmatrix()).
tidy_movies %>%
distinct(title, year, length, .keep_all=TRUE) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=Genres)) +
geom_bar() +
scale_x_mergelist(sep = "-") +
axis_combmatrix(sep = "-")
One thing that is only possible with the scale_x_upset()
function is to automatically order the categories and genres by
freq or by degree.
tidy_movies %>%
distinct(title, year, length, .keep_all=TRUE) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=Genres)) +
geom_bar() +
scale_x_upset(order_by = "degree")
#> Warning: Removed 1076 rows containing non-finite outside the scale range
#> (`stat_count()`).
To make publication ready plots, you often want to have complete
control how each part of a plot looks. This is why I provide an easy way
to style the combination matrix. Simply add a
theme_combmatrix() to the plot.
tidy_movies %>%
distinct(title, year, length, .keep_all=TRUE) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=Genres)) +
geom_bar() +
scale_x_upset(order_by = "degree") +
theme_combmatrix(combmatrix.panel.point.color.fill = "green",
combmatrix.panel.line.size = 0,
combmatrix.label.make_space = FALSE)
#> Warning: Removed 1076 rows containing non-finite outside the scale range
#> (`stat_count()`).
Sometimes the limited styling options using
combmatrix.panel.point.color.fill are not enough. To fully
customize the combination matrix plot, axis_combmatrix has
an override_plotting_function parameter, that allows us to
plot anything in place of the combination matrix.
Let us first reproduce the standard combination plot, but use the
override_plotting_function parameter to see how it
works:
tidy_movies %>%
distinct(title, year, length, .keep_all=TRUE) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=Genres)) +
geom_bar() +
scale_x_mergelist(sep = "-") +
axis_combmatrix(sep = "-", override_plotting_function = function(df){
ggplot(df, aes(x= at, y= single_label)) +
geom_rect(aes(fill= index %% 2 == 0), ymin=df$index-0.5, ymax=df$index+0.5, xmin=0, xmax=1) +
geom_point(aes(color= observed), size = 3) +
geom_line(data= function(dat) dat[dat$observed, ,drop=FALSE], aes(group = labels), linewidth= 1.2) +
ylab("") + xlab("") +
scale_x_continuous(limits = c(0, 1), expand = c(0, 0)) +
scale_fill_manual(values= c(`TRUE` = "white", `FALSE` = "#F7F7F7")) +
scale_color_manual(values= c(`TRUE` = "black", `FALSE` = "#E0E0E0")) +
guides(color="none", fill="none") +
theme(
panel.background = element_blank(),
axis.text.x = element_blank(),
axis.ticks.y = element_blank(),
axis.ticks.length = unit(0, "pt"),
axis.title.y = element_blank(),
axis.title.x = element_blank(),
axis.line = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_blank()
)
})
We can use the above template, to specifically highlight for example all sets that include the Action category.

risk.
There is already a package called UpSetR (GitHub, CRAN) that provides
very similar functionality and that heavily inspired me to write this
package. It produces a similar plot with an additional view that shows
the overall size of each genre.
# UpSetR
tidy_movies %>%
distinct(title, year, length, .keep_all=TRUE) %>%
unnest(cols = Genres) %>%
mutate(GenreMember=1) %>%
pivot_wider(names_from = Genres, values_from = GenreMember, values_fill = list(GenreMember = 0)) %>%
as.data.frame() %>%
UpSetR::upset(sets = c("Action", "Romance", "Short", "Comedy", "Drama"), keep.order = TRUE)
# ggupset
tidy_movies %>%
distinct(title, year, length, .keep_all=TRUE) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=Genres)) +
geom_bar() +
scale_x_upset(order_by = "degree", n_sets = 5)
#> Warning: Removed 1311 rows containing non-finite outside the scale range
#> (`stat_count()`).
The UpSetR package provides a lot convenient helpers
around this kind of plot; the main advantage of my package is that it
can be combined with any kind of ggplot that uses a categorical x-axis.
This additional flexibility can be useful if you want to create
non-standard plots. The following plot for example shows when movies of
a certain genre were published.
tidy_movies %>%
distinct(title, year, length, .keep_all=TRUE) %>%
ggplot(aes(x=Genres, y=year)) +
geom_violin() +
scale_x_upset(order_by = "freq", n_intersections = 12)
#> Warning: Removed 513 rows containing non-finite outside the scale range
#> (`stat_ydensity()`).
The combination matrix axis can be used to show complex experimental designs, where each sample got a combination of different treatments.

dplyr currently does not support list columns as
grouping variables. In that case it makes sense to collapse it manually
and use the axis_combmatrix() function to get a good
looking plot.

There is an important pitfall when trying to save a plot with a
combination matrix. When you use ggsave(), ggplot2
automatically saves the last plot that was created. However, here
last_plot() refers to only the combination matrix. To store
the full plot, you need to explicitly assign it to a variable and save
that.
