How to increase the length of Y-axis values for ggplot2 graph in R?
To increase the length of Y-axis for ggplot2 graph in R, we can use scale_y_continuous function with limits argument.
For Example, if we have a data frame called df that contains two columns say X and Y and we want to have the length of Y-axis starting from 1 to 10 by using the below mentioned command −
ggplot(df,aes(X,Y))+geom_point()+scale_y_continuous(limits=c(1,10))
Example
Following snippet creates a sample data frame −
x<-rnorm(20) y<-rnorm(20) df<-data.frame(x,y) df
The following dataframe is created
x y 1 -2.01096346 1.24463902 2 0.39496846 0.99334822 3 -0.51097047 -1.05482740 4 0.03373439 1.24457996 5 1.12358986 -1.78640864 6 -0.92102967 -0.75407431 7 0.31621086 1.36239416 8 -0.09043105 -0.49680298 9 -0.09693602 0.55751140 10 -1.21945066 2.01970155 11 -0.99525818 0.63536276 12 -0.57271775 1.32510316 13 0.15420177 0.62855015 14 -0.47752137 -0.73269498 15 -1.72463693 -0.46193220 16 -0.33377801 0.01744036 17 0.27385681 -0.88326612 18 0.61387778 0.28415277 19 -1.82064454 -0.73278798 20 2.46056155 1.22580050
To load ggplot2 package and create scatterplot between x and y on the above created data frame, add the following code to the above snippet −
x<-rnorm(20) y<-rnorm(20) df<-data.frame(x,y) library(ggplot2) ggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_point()
Output
If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −
To create scatterplot between x and y with y values starting from -2 and ending at 4 on the above created data frame, add the following code to the above snippet −
x<-rnorm(20) y<-rnorm(20) df<-data.frame(x,y) library(ggplot2) ggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_point()+scale_y_continuous(limits=c(-2,4))
Output
If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −
