Customizing Parcoord Plots in R for Breed Labels and Breed Names
Here is the corrected code to get the desired output: library(GGally) plt <- GGally::ggparcoord(df, columns = c(2:8), groupColumn = 1, scale = "globalminmax") + scale_y_continuous(breaks = 1:nrow(df), labels = df$Breed) + theme(axis.text.y = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 0)) plt This will create a parcoord plot with the desired output where each level of ‘Level.B’ is labeled and their corresponding ‘Breed’ values are displayed.
