Axis labels with individual colors

[jdias]

Is there any way to make a graph with axis labels of individual format (bold, color, ...)?

Imagine the following R code:

library(ggplot2)

data<-data.frame(x=c("a","b"),y=c(1,2))
ggplot(data)+geom_point(aes(x=x,y=y))

I would like that the label "a" had a different format (e.g. color) than label "b".

I don't think it is possible to do it natively but there is an extension package for that

Here is a minimally working example of what you want,

library(ggplot2)
data<-data.frame(x = c("a","b"), y=c(1,2))
ggplot(data) +
  geom_point(aes(x = x, y = y)) +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(colour = c("yellow", "blue")))

If you are going to be doing any kind of heavy customization of ggplots, you should check out the help file on theme()
