I would really appreciate help with a ggplot2 issue. I've been looking around it for long, so my best chance is now here. I provide a reproducible script.
What I'd need to do is center the bars horizontally. For now, they polarise towards the sides--especially notably on the 2009 and 2012 bars.
Centering them would allow me to freely adjust their width, whereas now I cannot.
This is the current, self-contained code:
install.packages('ggplot2')
library(ggplot2)
# Data
Year = c('2009','2009','2009','2009','2010','2010','2010','2010','2011','2011','2011','2011','2012','2012','2012','2012')
City = c('Kaunas','Vilnius','Kaunas','Vilnius','Kaunas','Vilnius','Kaunas','Vilnius',
'Kaunas','Vilnius','Kaunas','Vilnius','Kaunas','Vilnius','Kaunas','Vilnius')
Busy = c('Peak', 'Peak', 'Off-peak', 'Off-peak', 'Peak', 'Peak', 'Off-peak', 'Off-peak', 'Peak', 'Peak', 'Off-peak',
'Off-peak', 'Peak', 'Peak', 'Off-peak', 'Off-peak')
Result = c(-0.417277550641143, 0.540415934506096, -0.887323992801467, -1.0016151369497, -1.69512596882652,

pvalue.asterisks = c(NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, '*', NA, '*', NA, NA, NA, NA)
Results = data.frame(Year, City, Busy, Result, pvalue.asterisks)
str(Results)

panel.grid.major.y = element_line(colour = "grey90"),
panel.grid.major.x = element_blank(), plot.margin = unit(c(.05, .1, 0, .1), 'cm'),

-- Thank you very much
If you remove the theme
stuff you will see the problem, the X axis is years, and it's attempting to plot each one on the x-value for that year. One way to fix this is to set the scales
parameter to facet_grid
to be "free_x"
.
facet_grid(list('Busy', 'Year'), scales="free_x")
and then you only have to adjust the sizing of the bars.
geom_bar(width=0.5, stat = "identity", position = "dodge")
