I am working on a ggplot in R with the following code:
s=40
ggplot(data = NULL) +
geom_line(data = stk, aes(x = date, y = price)) +
geom_line(data = gdp, aes(x = year, y = gdp1*s)) +
scale_y_continuous("Index of Total Stock Price",
sec.axis = sec_axis(~. /s, name = "Real GDP (trillions of USD in 2012)"),
limits = c(0, 100)) +
scale_x_date(breaks = seq(from = as.Date("1900-01-01"),
to = as.Date("1945-01-01"),
by = "5 years"),
labels=date_format("%Y")) +
xlab(element_blank())
And this output:
The problem is that the text and ticks in the secondary axis look very cramped up. How can I make the space between the ticks and the axis label be the same for both y axis labels? Thanks.
EDIT:
Here is reproducible data:
set.seed(1000)
df1 <- data.frame(y1=rnorm(100, 0, 1),
x=seq(1, 100, 1))
df2 <- data.frame(y2=rnorm(100, 0, 1),
x=seq(1, 100, 1))
ggplot(data = NULL) +
geom_line(data = df1, aes(x = x, y = y1)) +
geom_line(data = df2, aes(x = x, y = y2*2)) +
scale_y_continuous("Label of Primary Y Axis",
sec.axis = sec_axis(~. *2, name = "Label of Secondary Y Axis"))
I had the same problem, using the second part of that,
theme(axis.title.y.right = element_text(margin = margin(t = 0, r = 0, b = 0, l = 10))
worked for me.
