How to use scale_x_continuous() In R Language
scale_x_continuous() function can be used to handle the look and appeal of vertical gridlines. The breaks attribute of this function can be set to NULL, for removing them from the plot.
Syntax: scale_x_continuous(breaks=NULL)
Example: Suppressing the vertical gridlines using scale_x_continuous()
R
library("ggplot2") function1<- function(x){x**2} function2<-function(x){x**3} function3<-function(x){x/2} function4<-function(x){2*(x**3)+(x**2)-(x/2)} df=data.frame(x=-2:2, values=c(function1(-2:2), function2(-2:2), function3(-2:2), function4(-2:2)), fun=rep(c("function1","function2", "function3","function4")) ) ggplot(df,aes(x,values,col=fun))+geom_line()+ scale_x_continuous(breaks=NULL) |
How to suppress the vertical gridlines using ggplot2 in R?
In this article, we will discuss various ways of suppressing vertical gridlines in ggplot using an R programming language.
Let’s first draw a regular plot without making any changes, so the difference is traceable:
R
library("ggplot2") function1<- function(x){x**2} function2<-function(x){x**3} function3<-function(x){x/2} function4<-function(x){2*(x**3)+(x**2)-(x/2)} df=data.frame(x=-2:2, values=c(function1(-2:2), function2(-2:2), function3(-2:2), function4(-2:2)), fun=rep(c("function1","function2", "function3","function4")) ) ggplot(df,aes(x,values,col=fun))+geom_line() |
Output:
