An implementation of scale functions for setting axis breaks of a 'gg' plot (S Xu (2021) doi:10.3389/fgene.2021.774846).

Changes in 0.2.2

the axis title of a broken plot is now drawn exactly once, whatever it comes from; the #85 entry of 0.2.0 was about the defect #53 fixed and assumed a title set with labs(), and the report came back for a title given as the name of a position scale -- scale_x_continuous("test") -- where five things went wrong together. The labels of the figure were read off ggplot_build(plot)$plot$labels, which only holds what labs() set plus the aesthetic defaults, so a plot whose scale is named "test" reported its title as "x" and the copy hoisted above a bottom legend carried the wrong text; ggplot2::get_labs() is used now, which returns the completed labels. A window blanked its title with guides(x = guide_axis(title = NULL)), and that does not beat the name of a scale, so scale_wrap() and the cut scales printed the title once per window; the theme element is blanked instead, and only on the windows, so the figure still draws it. check_axis_title() added the title to the outer ggplot a second time as a guide axis, whose row sits *below* the collected legend, which is why a scale-named title came out twice, once above the legend and once below it; only the secondary-axis title is left there, because labs() cannot set it. grid.draw.ggwrap() wrote the hoisted label back with totallabs$x <- NULL, and assigning NULL drops the element rather than clearing it, so a wrap drew a stray "x" under its legend. And the title is moved out of the panel by align_assembled_figure(), so a broken plot with a legend at the bottom keeps it when patchwork or cowplot take it through ggplotGrob() instead of being handed over titleless (2026-09-22, Tue, #85)

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("ggbreak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("YuLab-SMU/ggbreak")

Development version from YuLab-SMU/ggbreak. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-ggbreak

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-ggbreak

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-ggbreak

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
