lims: Convenience functions to set the axis limits.

Description

Observations not in this range will be dropped completely and not passed to any other layers. If a NA value is substituted for one of the limits that limit is automatically calculated.

Usage

lims(...)
 
xlim(...)
 
ylim(...)

Arguments

...
If numeric, will create a continuous scale, if factor or character, will create a discrete scale. For lims, every argument must be named.

For changing x or y axis limits without dropping data observations, see coord_cartesian.

Examples

Run this code
# xlim xlim(15, 20) xlim(20, 15) xlim(c(10, 20)) xlim("a", "b", "c")  ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +  geom_point() +  xlim(15, 20) # with automatic lower limit ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +  geom_point() +  xlim(NA, 20)  # Change both xlim and ylim ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +  geom_point() +  lims(x = c(10, 20), y = c(3, 5))
