Dear All, I am trying to stitch together multiple plots using ggplot2 Consider for instance the following snippet based on an old thread (http://tinyurl.com/ylehm2t)
library(ggplot2) vplayout <- function(x, y) viewport(layout.pos.row=x, layout.pos.col=y) draw4 <- function(pdfname, a,b,c,d,w,h) { pdf(pdfname,width=w, height=h) grid.newpage() pushViewport(viewport(layout=grid.layout(2,2) ) ) print(a, vp=vplayout(1,1)) print(b, vp=vplayout(1,2)) print(c, vp=vplayout(2,1)) print(d, vp=vplayout(2,2)) dev.off() } data(diamonds) set.seed(1234) randind <- sample(nrow(diamonds),1000,replace=FALSE) dsmall <- diamonds[randind,] a <- qplot(carat, data=dsmall, geom="histogram",binwidth=1) b <- qplot(carat, data=dsmall, geom="histogram",binwidth=.1) c <- qplot(carat, data=dsmall, geom="histogram",binwidth=.01) d <- qplot(carat, data=dsmall, geom="histogram",binwidth=2) width <- 7 height <- 7 draw4( "test-4.pdf", a,b,c,d, width, height) Is there any way to give an overall label along the y and x axis? E.g.something like a xlab to write some text which applies to the x axis of all the plots and which should go at the middle bottom of the compound plot (and something perfectly along these lines for the y axis).
