Y-axis tick labels appearing out of place on top of each other

[eyavuz21]

Hey all,

I have the following code to plot a graph:

ggplot(merged,aes(x = as.factor(`Branch Code`),y = as.factor(`Case Type`))) + geom_bar(stat = "identity") + theme_classic() + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle=45,vjust=0.5),axis.title.x=element_text(vjust=-1),plot.title = element_text(hjust=0.5)) + ggtitle("Distribution of case types") + xlab("Branch Code") + ylab("Case Type")

This gives me the following graph:

However, the y-axis labels are not equally/regularly spaced as they should be...

I have a minimal reproducible example below.

Would anybody be able to give me a helping hand?

structure(list(`Branch Code` = c(80012, 80012, 80012, 80012, 
80012, 80012), `Location Type` = c("Rural", "Rural", "Rural",

Setting y to Case Type doesn't make sense for a column chart. The y value should be numeric. What is your goal?

Yes I have plotted a scatter plot instead and it now works great!
