Change y-Axis Limits of Boxplot (2 Examples) | Base R & ggplot2 Graph | coord_cartesian() Function

R code of this video:

groups = letters[1:4])

boxplot(values ~ groups, # Base R boxplot with default axes
data)

boxplot(values ~ groups, # Base R boxplot with manual y-axis
data,
ylim = c(- 4, 7))

library("ggplot2")

ggp ＜- ggplot(data, # ggplot2 boxplot with default axes
aes(groups,
values)) +
geom_boxplot()
ggp

ggp + # Manual y-axis using ylim()
ylim(- 4, 7)

ggp + # Manual y-axis using coord_cartesian()
coord_cartesian(ylim = c(- 4, 7))

Thank you so much for this video! you helped me with my thesis

There is a vital difference between ylim and coord_cartesian .... you did not show it because you are expanding the limit... but it seems coord_cartesian is the only correct option if you want to zoom in on part of the data, as it will not change the underlying data, unlike ylim... According to the documentation.

Don't understand why everyone's videos of this stuff are videos of a blurry screen. Can we not focus the thing please.
