geom_blank


The bank geometry draws nothing, but can be useful way of ensuring common scales between different plots.

Aesthetics

x, y required position aesthetics

Description and Details

Using the described geometry, you can insert empty geometric object into your data visualization, defined by a position aesthetics x and y. You can find this geometry in the ribbon toolbar tab Layers, under the 2D button.

If you want to create empty plot that will be defined only with positional aesthetic parameters x and y, you can use the geom_blank geometry layer. The example is shown in the following figure.

In this case, we mapped the carat and price variables to the axis and left the graph empty with no displayed geometry.
