[R] ggplot aestetics: beginner question - I am lost in endless possibilites

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Here is a solution

ggplot(exdatframe2) +
  geom_tile(aes(x = exdatframeT, y = Name, fill = knownstate), colour =
"black", height = 0.5) +
  scale_fill_discrete(na.value = "white")

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
~ John Tukey
