I am a beginner with R and ggplot and have been facing an issue with defining my x and y axis on a linegraph.

I have the following dataset called UK:

enter image description here

I want to plot the beds ratio evolution with

  • x axis from 2010 to 2021 with breaks of 1
  • y axis from 0 to 3 with break of 0,5

I coded the following:

ggplot(data=UK, aes(x = Year, y = Beds_1000, group = 1)) +
   geom_line(color = as.factor("red")) + 
   geom_point() + 
   scale_x_discrete(limits=c(2010,2021)) +   
   scale_y_discrete(limits=c(0,3)

However, the axis of my graph disappear and I get the following message:

Continuous limits supplied to discrete scale. ℹ Did you mean limits = factor(...) or scale_*_continuous()?

I tried using limits=factor() and scale_*_continuous() but it made no difference on the final graph. The axis disapear or stay the same as without those functions.

    Welcome to SO! If your plot does not show all years I would guess that it is a numeric in which case using `scale_x_continuous(breaks = 2010:2021)` should fix your issue. For more help we need a [a minimal reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) including a snippet of your data shared via `dput()` to run your code. Please do not post an image of code/data/errors [for these reasons](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/285551/why-not-upload-images-of-code-errors-when-asking-a-question/285557#285557). – stefan Mar 12 '23 at 17:27

    It did indeed work, thank you so much for the help! And I will in the future not post images of my data :) – Adeline Kugler Mar 13 '23 at 09:30
