To change the limits for the axes in ggplot2 graphs, you can add the following functions to your graphs:
To change limits for the x-axis
xlim(-5000, 5000)
To change the limits for the y-axis
ylim(-5000,5000)
You can also use the scale_x_continuous () and scale_y_continuous() as follows:
scale_x_continuous(limits =c(-5000,5000))
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(-5000,5000))
Both of these methods will remove all the data points outside the given range of limits.
To adjust the visible area without removing the points, use the following function:
coord_cartesian(xlim = c(-5000, 5000))
