ggbiplot - change the axes value


The current ggbiplot (code below) shows X axis values from -5 to 5 and Y axis from -4 to 4. How can I change it so it will be X axis values from -6 to 6 and Y axis from -6 to 6?

Thanks.

Code:

library(devtools)
install_github("ggbiplot", "vqv")
library(ggbiplot)
data(wine)

ggbiplot(wine.pca, obs.scale = 1, var.scale = 1, group=wine.class,
         varname.size = 8, labels.size=10, 
         ellipse = TRUE, circle = TRUE) +
  scale_color_discrete(name = '') +  
  geom_point(aes(colour=wine.class), size = 8) +
  theme(legend.direction ='horizontal', 
        legend.position = 'top')

Solution

  • One possibility: Use xlim and ylim fuctnions

    library(ggbiplot)
    data(wine)
    wine.pca <- prcomp(wine, scale. = TRUE)
    p <-
    ggbiplot(wine.pca, obs.scale = 1, var.scale = 1, group=wine.class,
             varname.size = 8, labels.size=10,
             ellipse = TRUE, circle = TRUE) +
      scale_color_discrete(name = '') +
      geom_point(aes(colour=wine.class), size = 8) +
      theme(legend.direction ='horizontal',
            legend.position = 'top')
    p <- p + xlim(-6, 6) + ylim(-6, 6)
    print(p)
