R help - Sep 2010 - Setting scales for ggplot2 with facets

Faceting in ggplot2 seems to permit different scales for different  
facets, but I fail
to see how one could control ylim and xlim ranges for each facet  
separately.

For instance, I would like to set the ylim = c(0,10) for facet "A"
and ylim = c(42,102) for facet "B". Since the data is out of these  
ranges,
setting facet_grid(factor ~ ., scales = "free_y") does not achieve the
goal .

Is there a decent way to achieve this or not? or I have to drop data  
points
outside y-ranges as a quick hack?

Swen,

facet_grid forces the scale for plots along an axis to be shared. Try
facet_wrap instead.
