Continuous to Discrete Plotting

Continuous to Discrete Plotting

Situation: When plotting integers on the x-axis, it shows up in a ggplot like 2.5, 5, 7.5 and we want each bar to be plotted discretely (e.g. 1,2,3,4,5…)

gov_partcipation %>%
    ggplot(aes(x = n, y = nn)) +
    geom_col(aes(fill = as.factor(n))) +
    geom_text(aes(label = nn), vjust = -0.5, color = "white") +
    # this sets the sequence from 1 to 10 with a break of 1
    # turns a continuous sequence (2.5) into a discrete one (1,2,3...)
    scale_x_continuous(breaks=seq(1,10, 1))
