I have a line graph of soccer season league positions at end of season for two teams for every season since 1893. The seasons (in the format 18XX/XX) are a factor. The graph plots every season since 1893/94 on the axis. It's too crowded. Is there any way to omit axis labels?
Ideally I'd like them to mark every decade, so eg, 1900/01, 1910/11.
This is the code:
ggplot(Mydata, aes(x = Season, y = value)) +
geom_line(aes(colour = variable, group = variable)) +
scale_y_continuous(trans = "reverse") +
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1)) +
labs(title = "Blades vs Owls. End of season league position since 1892/93",
x = "Season", y = "League position")
The addition of this code fixed it for me:
+ scale_x_discrete(breaks = c("1893/94", "1900/01", "1910/11", "1920/21",
"1930/31", "1938/39", "1950/51", "1960/61",
"1970/71", "1980/81", "1990/91", "2000/01",
"2010/11", "2020/21"))
