ggplot2: How to reposition break lines next to bars in geom_bar instead of at the middle of the bar?

I have the following figure.



plot



As you can see the breaklines for the x scale (which is scaled discrete in this case) go right through the different bars. I want to these breaklines to form "lanes" in which the bars are nicely fitted. So instead of having my breaks go through the bar, I would like them to lie at the edge of each bar.



I experimented a lot with the scale_x_discrete function but just can't seem to figure out how to achieve this...






r ggplot2 geom-bar

You can create some fake gridlines using geom_vline while hiding the true gridlines.



library(tidyverse)



data <- data.frame(x = letters[1:10], y = runif(10), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)



data %>%

  ggplot(aes(x, y)) + 

  geom_bar(stat = "identity") + 

  coord_flip() + 

  geom_vline(xintercept = seq(1.5, 9.5, 1), color = "white") + 

  theme(panel.grid = element_blank())


plot

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
