Continuously add lines to ggplot with for loop

Question: Continuously add lines to ggplot with for loop

Hi there,

I have an object called gPlot and I want to continuously add geom_lines to the gPlot object.

df is a dataframe 
sstart ssend
167    2637
552    8273

My following code is :

gPlot<-ggplot() + geom_line(aes(x=1:6549, y=1, colour="red")) + geom_line(aes(x=295:1218, y=.99, colour="blue")) + geom_line(aes(x=3084:4340, y=.99, colour="green"))+coord_cartesian(xlim = c(0, 6549), ylim = c(0,1)) +  xlab("coordinates") + ylab("regions")

geomLine <- NULL
for(i in 1:nrow(df)){
  rowDF<-df[i,]
  dfstart <-rowDF$sstart
  dfend<-rowDF$send
  geomLine<-gPlot+geom_line(aes(x=dfstart:dfend, y=.95, colour="black"))

}

However, when I plot the new ranges from the df, the plot does not add all the ranges but, just puts the last number range. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

for(i in 1:nrow(stool_polyketide_analysis_df_vfam)){ rowDF<-stool_polyketide_analysis_df_vfam[i,] dfstart <-rowDF$sstart dfend<-rowDF$send gPlot<-gPlot+geom_line(aes_string(x=dfstart:dfend, y=.95-.005*i)) }
