Análisis y visualización de temperatura media y máxima en R con ggplot.
Here is the code you requested: ggplot(data = datos, aes(x = fecha)) + geom_line(aes(y = TempMax, colour = "TempMax")) + geom_line(aes(y = TempMedia, colour = "TempMedia")) + geom_line(aes(y = TempMin, colour = "TempMin")) + scale_colour_manual("", breaks = c("TempMax", "TempMedia", "TempMin"), values = c("red", "green", "blue")) + xlab(" ") + scale_y_continuous("Temperatura (C)", limits = c(-10,40)) + labs(title="TITULO") This code will create a plot with three lines for TempMax, TempMedia, and TempMin using different colors.
