I have data that looks like this example in the facet_wrap
documentation:
(source: ggplot2.org)
I would like to fill the last facet with the overall view, using all data.
Is there an easy way to add a 'total' facet with facet_wrap
? It's easy to add margins to facet_grid
, but that option does not exist in facet_wrap
.
Note: using facet_grid
is not an option if you want a quadrant as in the plot above, which requires the ncol
or nrow
arguments from facet_wrap
.
facet_wrap() makes a long ribbon of panels (generated by any number of variables) and wraps it into 2d. This is useful if you have a single variable with many levels and want to arrange the plots in a more space efficient manner.
The facet_grid() function will produce a grid of plots for each combination of variables that you specify, even if some plots are empty. The facet_wrap() function will only produce plots for the combinations of variables that have values, which means it won't produce any empty plots.
The facet approach partitions a plot into a matrix of panels. Each panel shows a different subset of the data. This R tutorial describes how to split a graph using ggplot2 package. There are two main functions for faceting : facet_grid()
library(ggplot2)
p <- qplot(displ, hwy, data = transform(mpg, cyl = as.character(cyl)))
cyl6 <- subset(mpg, cyl == 6)
p + geom_point(data = transform(cyl6, cyl = "7"), colour = "red") +
geom_point(data = transform(mpg, cyl = "all"), colour = "blue") +
facet_wrap(~ cyl)
