I have a geom_rect graph in ggplot:
data = data.frame("x"=c(1,1,1,5,5,7,7,10),
"y"=c(15,12,8,15,10,10,13,15),
"d"=c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8))
The code I'm using to create the plot is:
ggplot() +
geom_rect(data=data,mapping=aes(xmin=x,xmax=y,ymin=d-0.4,ymax=d+0.4))
Now, I want to replace the whole x axis with a specific string lets say "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO".
with A for 1, B for 2, C for 3 etc.
Any help is appreciated.
I've tried to just put the string value next to the axis and that works. However, it's not aligned with the values.
If you add a scale_x_continuous
to your plot, you can set the breaks
to 1:15
, then use LETTERS[1:15]
as the labels
ggplot(data) +
geom_rect(aes(xmin = x, xmax = y, ymin = d - 0.4, ymax = d + 0.4)) +
scale_x_continuous(NULL, breaks = 1:15, labels = LETTERS[1:15])
