Fixing labels

Our initial plot displays the data, but there's a lot of work to do before it'll resemble the FiveThirtyEight plot. Let's start with the text above and around the plot. We've seen how the ggplot2 layer labs() can take multiple arguments to modify the text. The plot you created in the previous exercise, initial_plot, has been loaded for you.

Exercise instructions

To match the FiveThirtyEight graph:
- Add its title, subtitle, and caption
- Set the labels for x and y-axis as empty strings
Save it as a new plot, titled_plot.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

titled_plot <- initial_plot + 
    # Add the title, subtitle, and caption
    ___(___ = "Hell Is Other People In A Pressurized Metal Tube",
         ___ = "Percentage of 874 air-passenger respondents who said action is very or somewhat rude",
         ___ = "Source: SurveyMonkey Audience", 
         # Remove the x- and y-axis labels
         __ = "", 
         __ = "")
