[R] Manually inserting an extra tick on the y axis in ggplot2

[John Kane]

 Oh yes, looks good. 

I misread your request and thought that you wanted it integrated with the labels on the y-axis.

Thanks.  Actually, found a good answer online - 

I wanted a horizontal line with a y intercept of 12.6.

I set m <- 12.6

I drew the line with geom_hline then added geom_text(aes(0,m,label = m, vjust = -1))

which worked just fine.

You might abe able to do it by using scale_y_continuous() but it would be a great help to see some (minimal) code and some sample data.

Re  scale_y_continuous() have a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22228696/specify-tick-marks-on-y-axis-ggplot2 [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22228696/specify-tick-marks-on-y-axis-ggplot2] which might suggest some approaches.

I have called geom_hline to insert a horizontal line on the y axis of a
plot at a given point.

How can I insert the corresponding tick and its value on the y axis
itself?
