How to use xlim() and ylim() In R Language

Method 1: Using coord_cartesian()

This method clips the unused data, which means observations out of the set limit will not be sent to any layer and clipped off.

Syntax: plot+ xlim( xmin, xmax ) + ylim( ymin, ymax )

Example: Set Axis Limits in ggplot2 in R.

R

# Create sample data 
set.seed(5642)    
sample_data <- data.frame(x = rnorm(1000),         
                    y = rnorm(1000)) 
# Load ggplot2 
library("ggplot2")  
  
# create plot with limits set 
ggplot(sample_data, aes(x = x, y = y)) + 
geom_point() + xlim(-5, 1)+ ylim(0, 5)
