Handling Missing Values in Factor Colors: A Customized Approach with scale_fill_manual
The issue with the plot is that it’s not properly mapping the factor levels to colors due to missing NA values. To resolve this, we need to explicitly include “NA” as a level in the factor and use scale_fill_manual instead of scale_fill_brewer to map the factor levels to colors. Here’s the corrected code: # Create a new column with "NA" if count is NA states$count[is.na(states$count)] = "NA" # Map the factor to colors using scale_fill_manual ggplot(data = states) + geom_polygon(aes(x = long, y = lat, fill = factor(count, levels=c(0:5,"NA")), group = group), color = "white") + scale_fill_manual(name="counts", values=brewer.
