Use ylim() to Set Y-Axis Limits

The xlim() function with the provided parameters as the range of the y-axis in vectors is used to set the y-axis without dropping any data of the given plot or an object accordingly.

Syntax:

xlim(...)

Parameters:

  • …: if numeric, will create a continuous scale, if factor or character, will create a discrete scale.

Example:

In this example, we will be using the ylim() function to change the y-axis of the given bar plot (with the same data as in the previous example)in the R programming language.

R




# Datapoint for the barplot
gfg<-c(1,4,6,5,7,5,4)
  
# Creating bar plot and setting 
# the y-axis limits
barplot(gfg,ylim=c(0,20))


Output:
