r - Separate sizes for points and lines in geom_pointrange from ggplot -

using ggplot's geom_pointrange() function, how change size of point , thickness of line separately?

example:

# make test data df <- data.frame(y=10, ymin=1, ymax=20, x=1)  # store ggplot object p <- ggplot(data=df, aes(y=y, ymin=ymin, ymax=ymax, x=x))   # plot 1: big dot , thick line p + geom_pointrange(fill='blue', color='grey', shape=21, size=5)  # plot 2: small dot , thin line (i want small dot , thick line or vice versa) p + geom_pointrange(fill='blue', color='grey', shape=21, lwd=1, size=5) 

plot 1:

plot 2:

can small dot thick line (or vice-versa)?

a workaround might plot line , point separate geoms using geom_point , geom_errorbar. unfortunately, real application involves jittering, point , interval end in different places (unless maybe can control jittering?).

i can find similar questions on (like this), don't directly answer one.

thanks!

you can use fatten in combination size:

p + geom_pointrange(fill='blue', color='grey', shape=21, fatten = 20, size = 5) 

p + geom_pointrange(fill='blue', color='grey', shape=21, fatten = .5, size = 5) 

s. ?geom_pointrange:

fatten
multiplicative factor used increase size of middle bar in geom_crossbar() , middle point in geom_pointrange().
