Guillaume,

Have a look at the ggplot book on p. 29
(http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/book.pdf). 

HTH,

Thierry

Onderwerp: [R] main title x title and y title with ggplot2

Hi R people,
I'm a R newbie and I'm trying to put main title, x title and y title in
my
graph with no success.
Any idea?
I'm sorry for this newbie question..

Guillaume

Guillaume,

You'll have to add the appropriate scales. 

ggplot(data, aes(x,y,fill)) + geom_point() + scale_x_continuous("your
xlabel") + scale_y_continuous("your ylabel")

I suppose you can add a main title in a similar way, but I haven't found
that yet. But I shure that Hadley will answer this.

Thierry
First thank you for the celerity of your response.
Second I use ggplot2 like this :
Where did you your xlab and ylab when using ggplot2 like that?

Guillaume,

I had the same problem and found a solution in some forums. Try this:

p<-ggplot(data, aes(x,y,fill)) + geom_point() + scale_x_continuous("your
xlabel") + scale_y_continuous("your ylabel")

p$title<-"your title"

print(p)

Ingo.

The new (more ggplot-like way) is to do:

ggplot(data, aes(x,y,fill)) + ... + opts(title = "my title")
