How to switch right-hand strip to left side in facet_grid

Question

I have the following code:

library(tidyverse)
p <- ggplot(mpg, aes(displ, cty)) + geom_point()
p + facet_grid(drv ~ .)

Which produces this plot:

As describe above how can I switch right-hand strip to left side and vice versa.

Answer 1

You could use switch in facet_grid to change the facet strip to left and scale_y_continuous to change y-axis to right.

library(ggplot2)

p + facet_grid(drv ~ ., switch = "y") + 
   scale_y_continuous(position = "right")
