A complete guide to scales

There are numerous scales in ggplot2. Too many to memorize. This app makes it easy for you to find the right scales and arguments for your variable types and aesthetics.

Choose the variable and aesthetic for which you need to find a scale:

Variable type

All available scales for your aesthetics and variables:

scale_alpha scale_alpha_binned scale_alpha_continuous scale_alpha_discrete scale_alpha_manual scale_alpha_ordinal scale_color_binned scale_color_brewer scale_color_continuous scale_color_discrete scale_color_distiller scale_color_fermenter scale_color_gradient scale_color_gradient2 scale_color_gradientn scale_color_grey scale_color_hue scale_color_manual scale_color_steps scale_color_steps2 scale_color_stepsn scale_color_viridis_c scale_color_viridis_d scale_fill_brewer scale_fill_continuous scale_fill_discrete scale_fill_distiller scale_fill_fermenter scale_fill_gradient scale_fill_gradient2 scale_fill_gradientn scale_fill_grey scale_fill_hue scale_fill_manual scale_fill_steps scale_fill_steps2 scale_fill_stepsn scale_fill_viridis_b scale_fill_viridis_c scale_fill_viridis_d scale_linetype scale_linetype_discrete scale_linetype_manual scale_radius scale_shape scale_shape_binned scale_shape_discrete scale_shape_manual scale_size scale_size_area scale_size_binned scale_size_binned_area scale_size_continuous scale_size_manual scale_x_binned scale_x_continuous scale_x_date scale_x_datetime scale_x_discrete scale_x_log10 scale_x_reverse scale_x_sqrt scale_x_time scale_y_binned scale_y_continuous scale_y_date scale_y_datetime scale_y_discrete scale_y_log10 scale_y_reverse scale_y_sqrt scale_y_time
