In this tutorial, we will learn how to reverse the order of facets, multiple small plots, made with ggplot2 in R. We will use R package forcats’s handy function fct_rev() to reverse the order of facets made using facet_wrap() function in ggplot2. Let us load tidyverse suite of R packages and palmer penguin dataset for… Continue reading How to Reverse Order in Facet in ggplot

How to Add Colors to Axis Tick Label in ggplot2
In this tutorial, we will learn how to add colors to axis tick labels in ggplot2. To add colors to axis labels we will use the R package “ggtext: Improved text rendering support for ggplot2” developed by Claus Wilke. Let us get started by loading the packages needed. We will use Palmer Penguin data set… Continue reading How to Add Colors to Axis Tick Label in ggplot2
How to Add Error Values to Barplot Labels in R with ggplot2
In this tutorial, we will learn how to add error values as labels on bars in a barplot. Thanks to @charliejhadley‘s nice tip showing how to add errors on barplot labels using str_glue() function. The main idea behind adding errors to labels is very similar to adding barplot heights as labels. In addition to the… Continue reading How to Add Error Values to Barplot Labels in R with ggplot2
Bump Plot with ggbump
Bump plots are line plots with dots showing the data points. Bump plots can be useful in understanding the change in rank over time. In this tutorial, we will learn how to make bump plots using ggbump package, a ggplot2 extension package. To make a bump plot we will use the top browser usage over… Continue reading Bump Plot with ggbump
How to wrap long axis tick labels into multiple lines in ggplot2
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
