R ggplot2: using stat_summary (mean) and logarithmic scale

Question

I have a bunch of measurements over time and I want to plot them in R. Here is a sample of my data. I\'ve got 6 measurements for each of 4 time points:

value         


        

Answer 1

The best solution I found for this issue was to use a combo of coord_trans() and scale_y_continuous(breaks = breaks)

As previously suggested, using coord_trans will scale your axis without transforming the data, however it will leave you with an ugly axis.

Setting the limits in coord_trans works for some things, but if you want to fix your axis to have specific labels, you will then include scale_y_continuous with the breaks you'd like set.

coord_trans(y = 'log10') +
scale_y_continuous(breaks = breaks)
