Tufte-like breaks for axes

Usage

base_breaks(x, scale = "x", addSegment = TRUE, ...)

base_breaks_x(x, addSegment = TRUE, ...)

base_breaks_y(x, addSegment = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x: vector of numbers to create breaks from
scale: scale (x or y) to create breaks for
addSegment: should we add a line to the scale? (TRUE/FALSE)
...: other parameters passed to scale_(x or y)_continuous

Value

A continuous position scale (class ScaleContinuousPosition) with breaks spanning x. When addSegment = TRUE, a list containing an axis-segment layer and the scale, suitable for adding to a ggplot2 plot.

Functions

base_breaks_x(): Tufte-like breaks for X axis
base_breaks_y(): Tufte-like breaks for Y axis

Examples

p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = wt, y = mpg)) +
  geom_point() +
  theme_minimal()

p

p + base_breaks(mtcars$wt, scale = "x") +
  base_breaks(mtcars$mpg, scale = "y")
