[R] Question about ggplot2

[Joshua Wiley]

Dear Shige,

You can use scale_y_continuous() to achieve this.

year.plot <- ggplot(d, aes(year, rate))
year.plot + stat_summary(fun.y = "mean", geom = "line") +
  scale_y_continuous(limits = c(0, .1))

where limits may be whatever you like for the y axis.

Cheers,

Josh
