Multiple X axis labels

tidyverse

Hi everyone

I want to draw a boxplot with three x-axis label levels. I have a dataframe named mydata likes following (8 Culvivars, 2 species, 2 origin levels,)
Cultivar Species Origin Treatment Growth
M DS Me CT 23
M DS Me TM 13
N DS Me CT 32
N DS Me TM 32
B DS Col CT 12
B DS Col TM 21
R DS Col CT 21
R DS Col TM 23
E CF Me CT 23
E CF Me TM 31
L CF Me CT 21
L CF Me TM 21
H CF Col CT 12
H CF Col TM 24
D CF Col CT 34
D CF Col TM 22

I want to create a bar chart with y axis is height, x axis presents three levels includes Species, Origin and Cultivar (group by Species and then origin)
I have tried with command:
ggplot(mydata, aes(x=Cultivar, y=Growth, fill=Treatment) + geom_boxplot() + facet_wrap(~Species, scales="free_x")
By doing this, I could draw a boxplot grouped by species. However, I have no idea how to split by Origin.
Your idea is really appreciated!

Thank you very much!
Kind regards,

I am not sure you just what you want. You mention both box plots and bar charts. Here is one way to include Origin in the plot.

library(ggplot2)
DF <- read.csv("c:/users/fjcc/Documents/R/Play/Dummy.csv", sep = " ")
ggplot(DF, aes(x=Cultivar, y=Growth, fill=interaction(Treatment,Origin))) + 
         geom_col() + facet_wrap(~Species, scales="free_x")

Hi FJCC,

Thank you very much for contributing and also sorry for making confusion.
Yeap, I just want to make a boxplot (sorry again for making above mistake)
I have tried another way and it created a plot that I nearly want but still have to think more to get the right one.
My command: ggplot(mydata, eas(x=Cultivar, y=Growth, fill= Treatment)) + geom_boxplot() + facet_wrap(Species~Origin, ncol=4)
By informing this, it built a plot which was split following Species and Origin. However, in X axis it did not separate by Cultivar.

Thank you again!

Like this? Notice I used color instead of fill because the box plots are only lines.

library(ggplot2)
DF <- read.csv("c:/users/fjcc/Documents/R/Play/Dummy.csv", sep = " ")
ggplot(DF, aes(x=Cultivar, y=Growth, color= Treatment)) + geom_boxplot() + 
  facet_wrap(Species~Origin, ncol=4, scales = "free_x")
