Continuous Scales for DSIR Bar / Column Charts

Thin wrappers around ggplot2::scale_y_continuous() and ggplot2::scale_x_continuous() that remove the default lower expansion so that columns sit flush with the axis — the convention for WHO and most publication-style bar charts. The upper expansion is preserved at 5% so the tallest column has breathing room above (or to the right of) it.

Usage

scale_y_dsi_col(...)

scale_x_dsi_col(...)

Arguments

...

Arguments forwarded to the underlying ggplot2::scale_y_continuous() / ggplot2::scale_x_continuous().

Value

A ggplot2 Scale object, to be added to a plot with +.

Details

Use scale_y_dsi_col() for vertical bars (geom_col() / geom_bar()) and scale_x_dsi_col() when bars are horizontal (via coord_flip() or geom_col(orientation = "y")).

Pass any other scale_*_continuous() argument (labels, breaks, limits, ...) through ....

Examples

library(ggplot2)

# Vertical bars
ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl))) +
  geom_bar(fill = "#0093D5") +
  scale_y_dsi_col() +
  theme_dsi()
