Display Axes Ticks and Labels Inside the Plot Using ggplot2 in R

To display axes ticks and labels inside the plot using ggplot2 in R, we can follow the below steps −

• First of all, create a data frame.
• Then, create a plot using ggplot2.
• After that create the same plot with theme function to change the position of axes ticks and labels.

Create the data frame

Let's create a data frame as shown below −

 Live Demo

x<-rnorm(25)
y<-rnorm(25)
df<-data.frame(x,y)
df

On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −

        x          y
1  -0.32440269 -0.04834967

Create a plot using ggplot2

Loading ggplot2 package and creating scatterplot between x and y −

x<-rnorm(25)
y<-rnorm(25)
df<-data.frame(x,y)
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_point()

Output
