Set Axis Limits in ggplot2 Plot

[ramgouveia]

I have this graphic with a dataframe that starts in mar18 and ends in fev21. Despite that, R wrote fev18 and mar21.

How can I adapt this code of this video to my problem?

scale_x_date(breaks = "1 month", date_labels = "%b %y")

Did you try the limits argument?

Edit:

I was wrong. For some reason, it's handled by expand argument, not limits.

set.seed(seed = 104653)

library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame(
  date = seq.Date(
    from = as.Date(x = "2018-03-01"),
    to = as.Date(x = "2021-02-01"),
    by = "1 month"
  ),
  price = rnorm(n = 36)
)

ggplot(data = df) +
  geom_line(mapping = aes(
    x = date,
    y = price
  )) +
  scale_x_date(
    date_breaks = "1 month",
    date_labels = "%b %y",
    expand = c(0, 0)
  ) +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90))
