I need to remove everything on the x-axis including the labels and tick marks so that only the y-axis is labeled. How would I do this?
In the image below I would like 'clarity' and all of the tick marks and labels removed so that just the axis line is there.
Sample ggplot
data(diamonds) ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = clarity)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = cut)) ggplot Chart:
Desired chart:

You have to set to element_blank() in theme() elements you need to remove
ggplot(data = diamonds, mapping = aes(x = clarity)) + geom_bar(aes(fill = cut))+ theme(axis.title.x=element_blank(), axis.text.x=element_blank(), axis.ticks.x=element_blank()) 4
