Positions in histograms
Here, we'll examine the various ways of applying positions to histograms. geom_histogram()
, a special case of geom_bar()
, has a position
argument that can take on the following values:
stack
(the default): Bars for different groups are stacked on top of each other.dodge
: Bars for different groups are placed side by side.fill
: Bars for different groups are shown as proportions.identity
: Plot the values as they appear in the dataset.
