I know this is not quite a data visualization issue, but the boss asked for it, so I need to figure out if it is possible.
Thanks!

To reorder the facets accordingly of the given ggplot2 plot, the user needs to reorder the levels of our grouping variable accordingly with the help of the levels function and required parameter passed into it, further it will lead to the reordering of the facets accordingly in the R programming language.
Change the text of facet labels Facet labels can be modified using the option labeller , which should be a function. In the following R code, facets are labelled by combining the name of the grouping variable with group levels. The labeller function label_both is used.
If we want to modify the font size of a ggplot2 facet grid, we can use a combination of the theme function and the strip. text. x argument. In the following R syntax, I'm increasing the text size to 30.
Facet labelsSetting strip. text to element_blank() will remove all facet labels. You can also remove the labels across rows only with strip.
An answer for those searching in 2016.
As of ggplot2 2.0, the switch argument will do this for facet_grid or facet_wrap:
By default, the labels are displayed on the top and right of the plot. If "x", the top labels will be displayed to the bottom. If "y", the right-hand side labels will be displayed to the left. Can also be set to "both".
ggplot(...) + ... + facet_grid(facets, switch="both") As of ggplot2 2.2.0,
Strips can now be freely positioned in
facet_wrap()using the strip.position argument (deprecatesswitch).
Current docs, are still at 2.1, but strip.position is documented on the dev docs.
By default, the labels are displayed on the top of the plot. Using strip.position it is possible to place the labels on either of the four sides by setting
strip.position = c("top", "bottom", "left", "right")
ggplot(...) + ... + facet_wrap(facets, strip.position="right") If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
