I am trying show the distribution of some very skewed data on a histogram using scale_x_log10 from ggplot2. I will eventually have a number of similar plots in the same frame, so I need the axes to be set to specific limits (ylim=0,150 and xlim=0,25000). Using examples from here, I am trying:
#histograms by age
PfMSP119_1_5hist <- ggplot(s1_to_5_adj, aes(x = PfMSP119_adj))+
geom_histogram(bins = 1500) +
ylim(c(0,150)) +
scale_x_log10(limit = c(0,25000)) +
xlab("MFI value") +
ylab("Frequency") +
labs(title = "Age 1-5") +
theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)) +
theme(panel.grid.minor=element_blank(),
panel.grid.major=element_blank())
However the graph produced is blank, with no x axis truncation.
Trying a different method where I call scale_x_log10 and xlim separately:
PfMSP119_1_5hist <- ggplot(s1_to_5_adj, aes(x = PfMSP119_adj))+
geom_histogram(bins = 1500) +
ylim(c(0,150)) +
xlim(c(0,25000)) +
scale_x_log10() +
xlab("MFI value") +
ylab("Frequency") +
labs(title = "Age 1-5") +
theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)) +
theme(panel.grid.minor=element_blank(),
panel.grid.major=element_blank())
I get the warning:
Scale for 'x' is already present. Adding another scale for 'x', which will replace the existing scale.
And the x axis on the produced graph is not set to my specified limits.
data:
dput(s1_to_5_adj$PfMSP119_adj)
