How to display axes ticks and labels inside the plot using ggplot2 in R?


To display axes ticks and labels inside the plot using ggplot2 in R, we can follow the below steps −

  • First of all, create a data frame.
  • Then, create a plot using ggplot2.
  • After that create the same plot with theme function to change the position of axes ticks and labels.

Create the data frame

Let's create a data frame as shown below −

 Live Demo

x<-rnorm(25)
y<-rnorm(25)
df<-data.frame(x,y)
df

On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −

        x          y

Create a plot using ggplot2

Loading ggplot2 package and creating scatterplot between x and y −

x<-rnorm(25)
y<-rnorm(25)
df<-data.frame(x,y)
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_point()
