How to add a vertical line with some value on a scatterplot created by ggplot2 in R?
When we draw a scatterplot, there might be some crucial points that we would want to display, hence we create a vertical or horizontal based on our objective. These vertical or horizontal lines can be drawn by using geom_vline or geom_hline function of ggplot2 but to add some value with them we can use geom_text function.
Example
Consider the below data frame −
> x<-rnorm(10) > y<-rnorm(10,0.5) > df<-data.frame(x,y) > df
Output
x y 1 1.2474363 -0.15892165 2 1.7511870 -1.18938250 3 -1.3001612 -0.32313571 4 -1.4220049 1.52915756 5 0.4355646 0.18282983 6 0.3128323 0.16467130 7 1.5099580 1.15199751 8 -0.4907705 -1.98635182 9 -1.4249190 -0.73298079 10 -0.2409907 0.06120644
Example
Loading ggplot2 package and creating a scatterplot between x and y −
> library(ggplot2) > ggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_point()
Output
Example
Creating a scatterplot between x and y with a vertical line showing a value −
> ggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_point()+geom_vline(aes(xintercept=0.5))+ + geom_text(aes(0,-1.5,label=0.5,hjust=-2))
Output
