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!

did you find the reason why this happen in the for loop?

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)) }
