Left and right align some of the tick labels in x-axis of a ggplot-CodePudding

I have below ggplot

library(ggplot2)
library(scales) 
df <- data.frame("levs" = c("a long label i want to wrap",
                            "another also long label"),
                 "vals" = c(1,2))

p <- ggplot(df, aes(x = levs, y = vals))   
  geom_bar(stat = "identity")    
  coord_flip()   
  scale_x_discrete(labels = wrap_format(20))

With this I am getting following plot

I am wondering if I can left align and right align leftmost and rightmost tick labels (i.e. 0.0 and 2.0) respectively. Basically in my actual plot, I have big -negative and positive numbers at these two place and they are overflowing the plot area.

Any input is very helpful.

CodePudding user response：

You can specify different hjust() in theme()

Code

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(df, aes(x = levs, y = vals))   
  geom_bar(stat = "identity")    
  coord_flip()   
  scale_x_discrete(labels = wrap_format(20))  
  scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(-20000, 20000, by = 10000))  
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(hjust=c(0, 0.5,0.5,0.5, 1)))

Output

Data

df <- data.frame("levs" = c("a long label i want to wrap",
                            "another also long label"),
                 "vals" = c(-20000,20000))
