Pat recreates a scatter plot that has a missing x-axis using the geom_point function from ggplot2 in R using geom_point. He customizes the appearance to match the original figure using the geom_vline, geom_hline, scale_color_manual, scale_x_continuous, scale_y_continuous, labs and theme functions. You can find the code I develop in this episode at https://www.riffomonas.org/code_club/....

The plot is is Figure 1A from the paper, "Exploring novel microbial metabolites and drugs for inhibiting *Clostridioides difficile*" by Ahmed Abouelkhair and Mohamed Seleem (https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/....

The newsletter describing how I would go about generating the figure can be found at https://shop.riffomonas.org/posts/bui....

If you have a figure that you would like to see me discuss in a future newsletter and episode of Code Club, email me at [email protected]!
