How to change y axis limits in decimal points in R?
I can plot the barplot in Excel with decimal points in y-axis limits as shown below.

But I would not be able to change the y-axis limits in R.

Here is my code in R.
par(mfrow=c(1, 1), mar=c(7, 4, 5, 6))
mydata <- data.frame(Algorithm1=c(95.85, 96.94), Algorithm2=c(96.04, 96.84), Algorithm3=c(95, 95.30))
barplot(as.matrix(mydata), main="Precision", ylim=range(0:100),
beside=T, col=c("red", "blue"), las=1, border = 0, cex.lab=1, cex.axis=1, font=1,col.axis="black", ylab = "Percentage",
legend.text = c("X1", "X2"),
args.legend = list(x ='topright', bty='n', inset=c(-0.20,0)))
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Set the limit of y and xpd = FALSE.
FALSE: all plotting is clipped to the plot region
TRUE: all plotting is clipped to the figure region
NA: all plotting is clipped to the device region
library(RColorBrewer)
color <- brewer.pal(3, "Set1")[2:1]
plot.new()
plot.window(xlim = c(0, 10), ylim = c(94, 97.5), yaxs = "i")
abline(h = seq(94, 97.5, 0.5), col = 8)
barplot(as.matrix(mydata), beside = T, col = color,
border = NA, legend.text = c("X1", "X2"),
args.legend = list(x = 'topright', bty = "n"), xpd = F, add = T)

You can also use ggplot2 and scales.
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
library(scales)
mydata <- data.frame(Algorithm = rep(c('Algorithm1','Algorithm2','Algorithm3'), each=2),
variable_x = rep(c('X1','X2'),3),
values=c(0.9585, 0.9694,0.9604, 0.9684, 0.95, 0.9530))
mydata %>%
ggplot(aes(x=Algorithm,y=values,fill=variable_x))+
geom_bar(stat='identity', position='dodge')+
scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::percent, limits = c(0.94,0.975), oob = rescale_none)+
scale_fill_manual(values= c(X1='red',X2='blue'))

You could do:
tickPoints <- 20 * (0:5)
par(mfrow = c(1, 1), mar = c(7, 4, 5, 6))
mydata <- data.frame(
Algorithm1 = c(95.85, 96.94),
Algorithm2 = c(96.04, 96.84),
Algorithm3 = c(95, 95.30)
)
barplot(
as.matrix(mydata), main = "Precision", beside = T, col = c("red", "blue"),
las = 1, border = 0, cex.lab = 1, cex.axis = 1, font = 1, col.axis = "black",
ylab = "Percentage", legend.text = c("X1", "X2"),
args.legend = list(x = 'topright', bty = 'n',inset = c(-0.20, 0)),
axes = FALSE,
ylim = range(tickPoints)
)
axis(side = 2, at = tickPoints, labels = sprintf("%0.1f", tickPoints))
Note the axes = FALSE in the call to barplot
Thanks for your answer. But I want the y-axis limits as shown in the first figure.
