However, you might wonder why should you add coord_flip() why not just swap x and y variables. Horizontal Barplot with coord_flip() in ggplot2 Since x-axis text will now be on y-axis and on separate lines, you won’t have overlapping axis text problem. Using coord_flip() is really an elegant solution and makes the axis text easily readable. Ggsave("ggplot_horizontal_plot_with_coord_flip.png") Avoid overlapping axis text with wide ggplot2.Īnother common trick is to flip the two axes using coord_flip(), so that the overlapping text on x-axis will be on y-axis now. However, this is too wide and may not work in general. Ggsave("ggplot_with_overlapping_axis_text_wide.png", width=12) So, you might increase the width of the plot to accommodate the axis text. Typically one has to resort to a trick or two to avoid the overlapping axis text issue.įor example, you might think that the x-axis text overlaps because the figure size is small. If you look at the x-axis text in the barplot, they all overlap. Basically, your x-axis text on ticks are long and overlapp with each other and make it impossible to read them.įor example, let use try to make a simple barplot with a lot of variables on x-axis. But one of the annoying pain points of making a plot with ggplot2 is “overlapping text on axis”. Two new features you will love and solves a common problem in making plots with ggplot2.Īnd verify we have the latest ggplot2 version installed using packageVersion() function. There are tonnes of new features to learn in the new version of ggplot.
HOW USE SHAREIT NEW VERSION 2.3.0 CODE
Introducing ggplot2 v 3.3.0 Thomas Lin Pedersen says that the new version “is packed with features, big and small” and a lot of internal rewrites of the ggplot2 code base. The new version of ggplot2 version 3.3.0 has lots of changes and it available on CRAN. Ggplot2_v3_3_0ggplot2, the R package that lets you create graphics using the Grammar of Graphics has a new version.
