ggplot2 (version 2.1.0)

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

# 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))
