In this tutorial, we will learn how to wrap really long axis tick labels into multiple lines in R while making plots with ggplot2. A long axis text labels make harder to understand the plot and ofter it overlaps with the neighboring labels and obscuring the labels. Here we will see two different ways to… Continue reading How to wrap long axis tick labels into multiple lines in ggplot2
