Histogram in ggplot does not start at zero on X axis [closed]

Question

So, this is the first time using ggplot to make a histogram and what I see is that for my data the histogram exported is the one below.

What I don't like, is the fact that the first bin does not include the zero and it starts at about 5 or 6. Has anyone encountered something like this?

I have used a range of binwidths, from 1 to 20 and it keeps doing it.

Data:

structure(list(V1 = c(8, 4.4, 9.4, 29.4, 135.6, 65, 70.9, 15.2, 38.8, 87.2, 5.2, 0.2, 7.8, 46.4, 35.9, 77.4, 34.2, 157.4, 46.4, 19, 43.8, 41.2, 96.8, 25.6, 40.2, 111.8, 111.8, 49.8, 39.4, 9.6, 11.6, 8.6, 44.2, 41, 4.6, 36.2, 12.4, 45.8, 0, 30.8, 134.6, 167.2, 13.8, 56.6, 112.3, 13.6, 18.8, 18.2, 7, 40.4, 30.8, 130.2, 234.6, 106.2, 87.2, 15, 7.6, 63, 18, 2.6, 28, 24, 153.2, 24.4, 69.6, 27, 134, 181.6, 46, 85.4, 18.6, 32, 83.6, 42.6, 32.8, 127.5, 92.8, 122, 129.6, 35.4, 20.6, 88, 14.8, 12.8, 33.8, 58.6, 104.2, 0.2)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -88L))

Code:

library(ggplot2)
library(scales)
dat = read.csv('mo.csv')
p2=ggplot(dat, aes(x = dat$v2)) +
  geom_histogram(color="black", fill="grey40", bins=25)+ 
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 255, 25), limits = c(0,255), expand=c(0,0))+
  scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0,0),limits = c(0,16.5), breaks = pretty(dat$v2, n = 140))
p2

Answer 1

ggplot(dat, aes(x = dat$V1)) +
  geom_histogram(color="black", fill="grey40", bins=20)+
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(0,250,25))+
  scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0,0),limits = c(0,16.5), breaks = pretty(dat$V1, n = 140))

This seems to be what you're looking for. Although 25 bins looks way better than 20, imo.
