R X Axis Lables

General
#1

Hello,
I made a ggplot and used a seq(20,70,5) as X-Axis now I wanted to change the lables so I used:
+
scale_x_continuous(breaks = 1:11,labels = c('20-25 Jahre',
'25-29 Jahre',
'30-34 Jahre',
'35-39 Jahre',
'40-44 Jahre',
'45-49 Jahre',
'50-54 Jahre',
'55-59 Jahre',
'60-64 Jahre',
'65-69 Jahre',
'70 Jahre und älter'))+
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 1, hjust=1))

When run, it removed all breaks and and the X-Axis lables. Why doesnt it show since it angle 90 it shouldnt be too long to dispay ?

The following code works for me. Does it work for you? Are you sure your x values are 1:11?

library(ggplot2)
DF <- data.frame(X=1:11,Y=1:11)
ggplot(DF,aes(X,Y))+geom_point()+
scale_x_continuous(breaks = 1:11,labels = c('20-25 Jahre',
                                            '25-29 Jahre',
                                            '30-34 Jahre',
                                            '35-39 Jahre',
                                            '40-44 Jahre',
                                            '45-49 Jahre',
                                            '50-54 Jahre',
                                            '55-59 Jahre',
                                            '60-64 Jahre',
                                            '65-69 Jahre',
                                            '70 Jahre und älter'))+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 1, hjust=1))

AltersgruppenAllbus determines the values of the x axis and the values range from 20 to 70.

AltersgruppenAllbus<- seq(20,70,5)

You place your breaks at 1:11. Try setting the breaks at seq(20,70,5).

Ok Thx I thought breaks just sets the number of breaks :laughing:

Thx for the quick answer. Sadly that does not work I will send more of the code:

#Sequenz für X-Achse:

AltersgruppenAllbus<- seq(20,70,5)

#Combine der Durschnittswerte: 

DFPTimAltersDurchschnitt <- c(Allbus20mean,Allbus25mean,Allbus30mean,
                              Allbus35mean,Allbus40mean,Allbus45mean,
                              Allbus50mean,Allbus55mean,Allbus60mean,
                              Allbus65mean,Allbus70plusmean)

#Zusammenführung in neuen DataFrame: 

AllbusFinal <- data.frame(AltersgruppenAllbus,DFPTimAltersDurchschnitt)
AllbusFinalMelt <- melt(AllbusFinal, id='AltersgruppenAllbus')

#Erstellung der Plots:

ggplot(AllbusFinalMelt,aes(AltersgruppenAllbus,DFPTimAltersDurchschnitt
))+
  geom_line()+
  ylim(0,1600)+
  ylab('Einkommen pro Kopf im Haushalt pro Monat in €')+
    ggtitle("Einkommen pro Kopf im Haushalt pro Monat
  in den Altersgruppen aus vereinfachten Allbus-Auswahl")+
  geom_hline(yintercept=1257)+geom_vline(xintercept = 55)+
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = 1:11,labels = c('20-25 Jahre',
                                              '25-29 Jahre',
                                              '30-34 Jahre',
                                              '35-39 Jahre',
                                              '40-44 Jahre',
                                              '45-49 Jahre',
                                              '50-54 Jahre',
                                              '55-59 Jahre',
                                              '60-64 Jahre',
                                              '65-69 Jahre',
                                              '70 Jahre und älter'))+
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = 1, hjust=1))

It also does not show any error. That is what the output looks like.
