create specific date range in ggplot2 ( scale_x_date)
Hi i have yearly data from 2010 to 2050. i am trying make line plot so that my x-axis start from 2010 and end in 2050 showing 5 years interval i e i want x-axis break as ( 2010, 2015, 2020,....,2045,2050). Unfortunately it starts from 2013 and end at 2048. why ? how to fix this ? my data, code and result image are below.
plot1<- ggplot(test, aes(yr, y=value)) +
geom_line()+
scale_x_date(breaks = date_breaks("5 year"),labels=date_format("%Y")) +
scale_y_continuous(breaks=seq(-4,6, by=1))
plot1

Answer
If you know exactly where you want your break values to be, then just tell ggplot
plot1<- ggplot(test, aes(yr, y=value)) +
geom_line()+
scale_x_date(breaks = seq(as.Date("2010-01-01"), as.Date("2050-12-31"), by="5 years"),
labels=date_format("%Y")) +
scale_y_continuous(breaks=seq(-4,6, by=1))
