How do I make the df plot look like the df1 plot? The df plot has overlap of x-axis content when going from Dec 2019 to Jan 2020. In the df plot, I tried changing
expand = c(0,15)which makes the x-axis labels look much better, but the line is not connected between Dec 2019 and Jan 2020.In df1 plot, how do I remove the border around the years and the line in-between the years on the x-axis label?

CodePudding user response：
For your first question. The issue is that last obs. in df1 for year 2019 is December 1st, hence that's the max. value displayed on the x axis for this panel. In contrast for your df1 it's December 31st. As a consequence the axis labels overlap and the lines do not connect. Actually the lines do not connect either in your second plot. It only looks like this.
One fix for both issues would be to add a helper observation to your df dataset which extends the scale and at the same time "connects" the line to the year 2020:
Note: While adding spaces might work an alternative approach to shift your labels would be to adjust the horizontal alignment.
library(tidyverse)
df <- add_row(df, date = as.Date("2019-12-31"), year = 2019, month = "Dec", sales = 100)
ggplot(df, aes(x = date, y = sales))
geom_line()
scale_x_date(
date_labels = "%b",
date_breaks = "month",
expand = c(0, 0)
)
facet_grid(~ year(date), space = "free_x", scales = "free_x", switch = "x")
theme_bw()
theme(
strip.placement = "outside",
strip.background = element_rect(fill = NA, colour = "grey50"),
panel.spacing = unit(0, "lines"),
axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank(),
panel.margin.x = unit(0, "cm"),
axis.text.x = element_text(hjust = -.1)
)
For your second question. To get rid of the border and the line between years set the color for the strip background to NA:
ggplot(df1, aes(Date, value))
geom_line()
scale_x_date(
date_labels = "%b",
date_breaks = "month", expand = c(0, 0)
)
facet_grid(~ year(Date), space = "free_x", scales = "free_x", switch = "x")
theme_bw()
theme(
strip.placement = "outside",
strip.background = element_rect(fill = NA, colour = NA),
panel.spacing = unit(0, "cm"),
axis.line = element_line(colour = "black"),
panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
panel.border = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank(),
axis.text.x = element_text(hjust = -.1)
)
