I would like to change the format of the y-axis
numbers such that the axis-es follow similar numbering format. right now Facet A
is plain while Facet B
is scientific. I understand there are large difference in the values of the two facets
which is why i use log scale
make the low values more visible. I used labels = "scientific"
to force the scale being scientific but is giving me error. here is my code- any help would be appreciated.
library(tidyverse)
DF = data.frame(A = runif(8000, 100,800), B = runif(8000, 0, 10), C = 1:8000)
DF_g = gather(DF, key = "Variable", value = "Value", - C)
ggplot(DF_g, aes(x = C, y = Value, color = Variable))+
geom_boxplot(lwd = 1)+facet_wrap(~Variable, nrow = 2, scales = "free_y")+
scale_y_continuous(trans = "log10")
You can use the function scientific_format()
from scales
:
ggplot(DF_g, aes(x = C, y = Value, color = Variable))+
geom_boxplot(lwd = 1)+facet_wrap(~Variable, nrow = 2, scales = "free_y")+
scale_y_continuous(trans = "log10", labels = scales::scientific_format())
