Draw ggplot2 Histogram & Density with Frequency Values on Y-Axis in R (Example Code)
This tutorial shows how to draw a histogram with overlaid density and count values on the y-axis in R programming.
Preparing the Example
data(iris) # 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 |

ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length)) + # Histogram with overlaid density geom_histogram() + geom_density(aes(y = ..density..), col = "orange", lwd = 2) |
ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length)) + # Histogram with overlaid density geom_histogram() + geom_density(aes(y = ..density..), col = "orange", lwd = 2)
Example: Create Histogram with Overlaid Density & Frequency Values on Y-axis
ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length)) + # Histogram with overlaid density & count on y-axis geom_histogram(binwidth = my_binwidth) + geom_density(aes(y = ..density.. * (nrow(iris) * 0.1)), col = "orange", lwd = 2) |
ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length)) + # Histogram with overlaid density & count on y-axis geom_histogram(binwidth = my_binwidth) + geom_density(aes(y = ..density.. * (nrow(iris) * 0.1)), col = "orange", lwd = 2)
