I am attempting to make a multiple line chart in R using ggplot and am trying to figure out how to not have the x-axis labels overlap (something that looks like th first image below): enter image description here

This is my code: enter image description here

This is the output of my code: enter image description here

Is there a function or parameter to adjust the placement of the x-axis labels to be adjusted like the first image?

  • You could also try with `scale_x_discrete(guide = guide_axis(n.dodge = 2))` to place the labels in multiple rows as in the image you posted. – stefan Mar 13 '23 at 20:17

One idea you could try is to rotate the x axis labels instead of staggering them:

your_plot + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 0, vjust = 0))

This related question has other ideas: ggplot2 stagger axis labels
