Is it possible to set the margin in ggplot2 to a fixed size? I create many
plots, and I want them to look the same.
Especially I want them to have the same left margin.
But
P<-ggplot()+geom_bar(aes(c("short label1","short
label2"),runif(2)))+coord_flip()
P<-creates a plot with another margin as
ggplot()+geom_bar(aes(c("very very very very long label1","short
label2"),runif(2)))+coord_flip()
In the standard plot system margins can be set with par(mar=c(...)), but
this doesn't work in ggplot2
I thought I could do it with plot.margin, but
p+theme(plot.margin= unit(c(0, 0, 0,3), "cm"))
doesn't work,it adds extra, external margins.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks
Frans

Well, the margin is being set large enough to accommodate the labels. So if you want narrower margins just shorten the labels: library(stringr) P + scale_x_discrete(labels = function(x) str_wrap(x, width=12)) HTH, Ista On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 5:35 PM, Frans Marcelissen <frans.marcelissen at digipsy.nl> wrote:> Is it possible to set the margin in ggplot2 to a fixed size?

Hi Ista, Your suggestion is not the solution I need. My problem is that in this way each plot gets another margin. I try to create a presentation with about 10 plots.The presentation does'nt look well if each plot has another marging. Is there way to set the margin manually?
