Ignoring unknown aesthetics "width" for geom_col()

[Ryo-N7]

Similar to issue #2066 , I still am getting unexpected warning messages when width aesthetic clearly specified.

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

## Inputs ----
Low_Level <- -0.848744744010952

df <- data_frame(IndicatorName = c("Ind 04", "Ind 05", "Ind 07", "Ind 11", "Ind 17", "Ind 18"),
                 Perc = c(21.4285714, 100, 95.2380952, 0.4260676, 20, 50),
                 PercWeek = c(21.4285714, 100, 85.7142857, 0.1936671, 20, 50),
                 PercYear = c(21.42857, 61.7284, 95.2381, 19.36671, 20, 50),
                 BehindBy = c(-8.487337, 0, 0, -8.487337, -8.487337, 0))

## Plot ----
ggplot(df, aes(x = IndicatorName)) + 
  geom_col(aes(y = PercWeek, width = 0.5), alpha = 0.6) +
  geom_col(aes(y = PercYear, width = 0.75), alpha = 0.3) +
  geom_col(aes(y = Perc, width = 0.15, fill = BehindBy), color = "black") + 
  scale_fill_gradient("", limits = c(Low_Level, 0), low = "red", high = "green", 
                      guide = FALSE) +
  coord_flip()

Hi @Ryo-N7,

Thanks for including a reprex— would you mind paring this down to make it more minimal? The reprex do's and dont's is a helpful guide for this. Basically, you want to remove any extraneous aesthetics and simplify the code as much as possible so that it's easy for maintainers to skim and see the problematic pieces.

Thanks

Hi @batpigandme,

yes, sorry i reprex'd this straight out of my working script.

updated to something more minimal, is this okay?

[batpigandme]

Much better, thanks!

Since you're not mapping width to a variable it doesn't belong within aes(). I'd do this instead:

ggplot(df, aes(x = IndicatorName)) + 
  geom_col(aes(y = PercWeek), width = 0.5, alpha = 0.6) +
  geom_col(aes(y = PercYear), width = 0.75, alpha = 0.3) +
  geom_col(aes(y = Perc, fill = BehindBy), width = 0.15, color = "black") + 
  scale_fill_gradient("", limits = c(Low_Level, 0), low = "red", high = "green", 
                      guide = FALSE) +
  coord_flip()

@karawoo oh you're completely right! i thought that old error from #2066 was happening again but it was my fault instead. thanks!
