how to translate x-axis plot code to ggplot code in R

Question

I'm having troubles using this idea with ggplot2

axis(1, at=1:6, lab=c("Art", "Basic", "Comp", "Day", "Est", "Fin"))

how can I do this with the ggplot2 package? Thank you!

Answer 1

You would really need to show us the rest of your data and plotting code to get a full answer here, but an example would be:

library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame(x = 1:6, y = c(5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 1))

ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + 
  geom_point() +
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = 1:6, 
                     labels = c("Art", "Basic", "Comp", "Day", "Est", "Fin"))

Depending on what you're plotting, you may not even have to do this. For example, if your data was:

df <- data.frame(x = c("Art", "Basic", "Comp", "Day", "Est", "Fin"), 
                 y = c(5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 1))

Then you could do, for example:

ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + geom_col()
