Intro

In this module, we will learn how to modify the X and Y axis using the following functions:

• Continuous Axis
  • scale_x_continuous()
  • scale_y_continuous()
• Discrete Axis
  • scale_x_discrete()
  • scale_y_discrete()

Library

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)

Continuous Axis

scale_x_continuous() and scale_y_continuous() take the following arguments:

• name
• limits
• breaks
• labels
• position

X Axis - Continuous

ggplot(mtcars) +
  geom_point(aes(disp, mpg))

Axis Label

ggplot(mtcars) +
  geom_point(aes(disp, mpg)) +
  scale_x_continuous(name = "Displacement")
