Space between bar chart with day/week/month in x axis in R

Question

When the number of bars is large (when days/weeks are on x axis), the spaces between the bars are not visible.

But when the number of bars are small (when months are on x axis), the spaces between the bars are vsiible.

What i want is irrespective of number of bars, the spaces between the bars should be visible. Any idea to code in R please?

Answer 1

You could add colour = "white" for the border around the bars:

library(tidyverse)

df <- tibble(x = rep(1:100, 5)) 

df |> 
  ggplot(aes(x)) +
  geom_histogram()
#> `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

df |> 
  ggplot(aes(x)) +
  geom_histogram(colour = "white")
#> `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
