How to use xlim() and ylim() functions with ggplot2 In R Language

In this approach to change the axis intervals of the given plot, the user needs to install and import the ggplot2 package in the working console of the R programming language, here the ggplot2 package is responsible for creating the plots, then the user needs to call the xlim() and the ylim() function with the required parameters as per the user to change the axis intervals as required by the user, these functions will be called with the plot created with ggplot2 and this will be leading to the change in the plot axis intervals as defined by the users.

Example: Initial plot 

R




gfg<-c(8,9,6,5,8,5,1,7,3,5)
barplot(gfg)


Output:

Example: Change axis intervals

R




library(ggplot2)
  
gfg<-data.frame(x=c(8,9,6,5,8,5,1,7,3,5),
                y=c(9,6,5,4,2,5,6,7,4,1))
  
ggplot(data=gfg,aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_point()+
xlim(0,15)+ylim(0,20)


Output:

Method 1: Using xlim() and ylim() functions in base R

In this method of changing the axis intervals, the user needs to call the xlim() and ylim() functions, passing the arguments of the range of the axis intervals required by the user in form of the vector, this will be changing the axis intervals of the plot as per the specified parameters by the user in the R programming language....

Method 4:Using  scale_x_continuous() and  scale_y_continuous() functions with ggplot2

In this method to change the axis intervals of the given plot, the user needs to use the log arguments with the plot function to transform one of the axes into a log scale, this will be changing the axis defined by the user to the logarithm axis in the R programming language....
