Easily create segments in the y-axis of a 'ggplot2' plot.
This project builds on top of gg.gap v1.4 by Jiacheng Lou, et al.
What changed with respect to upstream?
- Improved handling of subtitles and captions. These were duplicated and placed in the gap between the new segments of the plot.
- Legends are now supported by the core functionality.
- The code was heavily refactored following the tidyverse style guide and Clean Code principles.
- The project has a new name after lossing the punctuation mark from the former name as per the recommendations of the style guide.
You can install gggap from CRAN:
install.packages("gggap")A development version can be retrieved from Github:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("cmoralesmx/gggap", ref="dev")data(mtcars)
library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(data = mtcars, aes(x = gear, fill = gear)) +
geom_bar() +
ggtitle("Number of Cars by Gears") +
xlab("Gears")
# single segments and missing `tick_width`
gggap(plot = p, segments = c(5, 10), ylim = c(0, 50))
# `tick_width` can be one or more numbers
gggap(
plot = p,
segments = c(5, 10),
tick_width = c(1, 10),
ylim = c(0, 50)
)
# segments list cantains more than one number vectors
gggap(
plot = p,
segments = list(c(2.5, 4),c(5, 10)),
tick_width = c(1, 0.5, 10),
ylim = c(0, 50))
# `rel_heights` can set the relative height for segments and segmented y-axis
gggap(
plot = p,
segments = list(c(2.5, 4),c(5, 10)),
tick_width = c(1, 0.5, 10),
rel_heights = c(0.2, 0, 0.2, 0,1),
ylim = c(0, 50)
)
# reversed y-axis
p <- ggplot(
data = mtcars,
aes(x = gear, fill = gear)
) +

# single segments and missing tick_width
gggap(plot = p, segments = c(10, 5), ylim = c(15, 0))
# for facet()
library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, hp)) + geom_point()
