Delete Labels in ggplot2 Facet Plot in R (Example Code)
In this tutorial you’ll learn how to get rid of facet plot label boxes in R.
Preparing the Example
data(iris) # Load and print example data head(iris) # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa |
