[R] ggplot question: changing the label for the Y axis on a histogram
Some help with how to re-label the vertical axis in a histogram would be
appreciated.
qplot(off.sc,weight=rel.freq,binwidth=.29,main="test
Figure"+ylab("New from inside"))+ylab("New from
outside")+
xlab("off.sc\nAggregated frequency plots for 17 equal intervals.")
The code produces a proper histogram. However, the y axis is labeled count
and this needs to be changed because the data is relative
frequencies (sample proportions.)
ylab() does not do the trick (in either position). Does anyone know what works?
Thanks

[R] ggplot question: changing the label for the Y axis on a histogram
Hi Steven,
The basic example works:
qplot(rnorm(100)) + ylab("Bin Counts")
Please post a reproducible example that illustrates the problem you are having.
Best,

[R] ggplot question: changing the label for the Y axis on a histogram
Thanks for taking a look.
As you can see from my (reduced) example below, I am drawing on counts and then
asking bin to aggregate.
My hunch is that ylab() somehow gets over-ridden in the collaboration implicit
in geom_histogram.
Accordingly, any comment that illuminates the actual mechanics invoked by this
(and how to examine them) would be much appareciated.
vals<-c(-2.601,-2.073,-1.341,-1.126,-1.022,-0.847,-0.839,-0.791,-0.790,-0.683,-0.572,-0.556,-0.538,-0.454,-0.394,-0.342,-0.313,-0.184,-
0.138,0.302,0.307
,0.364,0.796,0.830,0.992,1.029,1.305,1.334)
cnts<-c(186.8,541.0,221.5,191.2,545.6,317.9,375.6,335.5,154.4,199.1,305.1,302.4,179.2,164.8,155.0,281.4,158.6,560.3,208.6,164.1,157.2
,505.2,1282.9,181.6,273.0,315.3,166.9,222.8)
qdata<-as.data.frame(cbind(vals,cnts))
qplot(vals,weight=cnts,data=qdata,binwidth=.29,main="test")+ylab("NEW")
