In a simple scatterplot of two continuous variables (using ggplot) I'm trying to add a line break to the beginning of one of the axes, so that it is more clear that it does not start at 0.
To more clearly explain what I am trying to do, here is an example-plot using the mtcars dataset:
# Load packages.
library(tidyverse)
library(magrittr)
# Get data.
data <- mtcars
# Scatterplot.
data %>%
ggplot(aes(wt, mpg)) +
geom_point() +
theme_classic() +
scale_x_continuous(limits=c(0, 6))
In this case, the X axis runs from 0 to 6, that's fine. But the Y axis runs from 10 to 35, and so does not start at 0 (which might be overlooked).
To make this more clear, I'd like the plot to look a little like this (made in Paint):
Is this possible in ggplot?
