")
then I created a plot:
library(reshape2)
library(ggplot2)
dat1 <- melt(dat)
head(dat1)
p = ggplot(dat1, aes(x=Age, y=value, group=variable))
p + geom_line(aes(colour = variable), size=1.2)+theme_bw()+
theme(text = element_text(size=20),
axis.text.x = element_text(angle=90, vjust=1))
I want the X axis values be adjusted with the vertical traces, but they are slightly off to the right. how can I make them exactly in front of the traces? I would like to know how to solve this when the X axis values are factors.
