    <p>I have a data set from which I have to make several dozen plots. The data consists of 30 Groups and several measurements within each group. </p> <p>Most plots will not use all the groups at once. </p> <p>My goal is to have one single color pallete for the set of groups such that any given group is the same color across all graphs. In the example below, this would mean that <code>Group C</code> is the same color in <code>Plot 1</code> and in <code>Plot 2</code>. </p> <p>My question is how to go about this. </p> <p>I've tried several variations of scale_fill_manual (and scal_color_manual, when appropriate). While the colors are chosen from the designated pallete, I cannot seem to index the pallette by the group, or some other way to "skip" over the colors corresponding to a missing group</p> <p>I also thought to try to add the color information as a column of the data being plotted, but I'm unsure how to then use this column as the color for the group. </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/3NQ7D.png" alt="Plot Example"></p> <pre><code># SAMPLE DATA: DT1 &lt;- data.table(Name=c("C_sub1", "A_sub1", "A_sub2"), Value=c(2,5,3), Group=c("C", "A", "A"), key="Group") DT2 &lt;- data.table(Name=c("A_sub1", "B_sub1", "C_sub1", "C_sub2"), Value=c(4,3,6,3), Group=c("A", "B", "C", "C"), key="Group") # SAMPLE Color Pallette ColorsDT &lt;- data.table(Group=LETTERS[1:5], Color=c("#333BFF", "#CC6600", "#9633FF", "#E2FF33", "#E3DB71"), key="Group") # Add a column for Color, according to the Group DT1[ColorsDT, Color := i.Color] DT2[ColorsDT, Color := i.Color] # A Basic Plot simplePlot &lt;- function(DT, tit) ggplot(DT ,aes(x=Name, y=Value, fill=Group)) + geom_bar(stat="identity") + xlab("") + ggtitle(tit) # Tried sevearl variations of: # + scale_fill_manual(values=ColorsDT$Color) # Plot Them grid.arrange(ncol=2, simplePlot(DT1, tit="Plot 1"), simplePlot(DT2, tit="Plot 2")) </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
