[R] Question about ggplot2

[Joshua Wiley]

Dear Shige,

This is a feature that lets you view information about the specific
data you are viewing.  If you merely want a visual adjustment, use
coord_cartesian():

year.plot + stat_summary(fun.y = "mean", geom = "line") +
  coord_cartesian(xlim = c(0, 0.1))

HTH,

Josh
