How could I increase the space between the y-axis line and the first bar in the following bar plot?
# Load ggplot
library(ggplot2)
# Load the Titanic dataset
data("Titanic")
Titanic <- as.data.frame(Titanic)
# Bar plot
ggplot(Titanic, aes(x = Class, y = Freq, fill = Survived)) +
geom_col(position = "fill") +
coord_cartesian(ylim = c(0, 1), expand = FALSE) +
theme_classic() +
theme(legend.position = "none",
axis.line.x = element_blank(),
axis.ticks.x = element_blank())
Is there a way to apply coord_cartesian(expand = FALSE)
only to the x-axis? This could resolve the problem.
I don't think you can get that level of control with coord_cartesion
. You can use the scales instead
ggplot(Titanic, aes(x = Class, y = Freq, fill = Survived)) +
geom_col(position = "fill") +
scale_x_discrete(expand=expansion(add=c(.8, 0))) +
scale_y_continuous(expand=expansion(add=c(0, 0))) +
theme_classic() +
theme(legend.position = "none",
axis.line.x = element_blank(),
axis.ticks.x = element_blank())
Change the value of .8 to whatever you like.
