scale_x_log10(...)

\arguments{
\item{...}{common continuous scale parameters: \code{name}, \code{breaks},
\code{labels}, \code{na.value}, \code{limits} and \code{trans}. See
\code{\link{continuous_scale}} for more details}
\item{expand}{a numeric vector of length two giving multiplicative and
additive expansion constants. These constants ensure that the data is
placed some distance away from the axes.}

Continuous position scales (x & y).

\examples{
\donttest{
(m <- qplot(rating, votes, data=subset(movies, votes > 1000),
na.rm = TRUE))
# Manipulating the default position scales lets you:
# * change the axis labels
m + scale_y_continuous("number of votes")
m + scale_y_continuous(expression(votes^alpha))
# * modify the axis limits
m + scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0, 5000))
m + scale_y_continuous(limits=c(1000, 10000))
m + scale_x_continuous(limits=c(7, 8))
# you can also use the short hand functions xlim and ylim
m + ylim(0, 5000)
m + ylim(1000, 10000)
m + xlim(7, 8)
# * choose where the ticks appear
m + scale_x_continuous(breaks=1:10)
m + scale_x_continuous(breaks=c(1,3,7,9))
# * manually label the ticks
m + scale_x_continuous(breaks=c(2,5,8), labels=c("two", "five", "eight"))
m + scale_x_continuous(breaks=c(2,5,8), labels=c("horrible", "ok", "awesome"))
m + scale_x_continuous(breaks=c(2,5,8), labels=expression(Alpha, Beta, Omega))
# There are a few built in transformation that you can use:
m + scale_y_log10()
m + scale_y_sqrt()
m + scale_y_reverse()
# You can also create your own and supply them to the trans argument.
# See ?scale::trans_new
# You can control the formatting of the labels with the formatter
# argument. Some common formats are built into the scales package:
x <- rnorm(10) * 100000
y <- seq(0, 1, length = 10)
p <- qplot(x, y)
library(scales)
p + scale_y_continuous(labels = percent)
p + scale_y_continuous(labels = dollar)
p + scale_x_continuous(labels = comma)
# qplot allows you to do some of this with a little less typing:
# * axis limits
qplot(rating, votes, data=movies, ylim=c(1e4, 5e4))
# * axis labels
qplot(rating, votes, data=movies, xlab="My x axis", ylab="My y axis")
# * log scaling
qplot(rating, votes, data=movies, log="xy")
}
