Customizing axes, titles, and legends
Other topicsChange legend title and increase keysize
# load the library
library(ggplot2)
# create a blank canvas
g <- ggplot(data = diamonds)
g + geom_bar(aes(x = cut, fill = cut)) +
scale_fill_discrete(guide = guide_legend(title = "CUT",
keywidth = 2,
keyheight = 2))

Compare frequencies across groups and remove legend title
g + geom_bar(aes(x = cut, fill = color), position = "fill") +
guides(fill = guide_legend(title = NULL))

Place overlapping objects next to each other and change colours of axes texts
g + geom_bar(mapping = aes(x = cut, fill = clarity), position = "dodge") +
theme(axis.text = element_text(colour = "red", size = 12))

Fine tuning axes ticks, texts, and titles
g + geom_histogram(aes(price, fill = cut), binwidth = 500) +
labs(x = "Price", y = "Number of diamonds",
title = "Distribution of prices \n across Cuts") +
theme(plot.title = element_text(colour = "red", face = "italic"),
axis.title.x = element_text(face="bold",
colour="darkgreen", size = 12),
axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, vjust = 0.5, size = 12),
axis.title.y = element_text(face="bold",
colour="darkblue", size = 12),
axis.text.y = element_text(size = 12, colour = "brown"))
