Change label location on facet_grid() plot

[Brandon Farr]

All,

Does any know how, if possible, to change the label locations on a
facet_grid plot? By default the x labels are on the top, and the y
labels are on the right. I want the x labels on the top and the y
labels on the LEFT.

Thanks,
Brandon

Brandon, 

In a faceted plot the x axis is always on the bottom with y axis on the left. The facet names are on top. To my knowledge you can't change the position of one for another.  If I'm wrong I hope someone will correct me.

Hi,

this is half in jest,

d <- data.frame(expand.grid(a=1:2,b=1:2,c=1:2),x=rnorm(8), y=rnorm(8))

p <- ggplot(d, aes(x, y)) + facet_grid(a~b) + geom_point() +
coord_trans(x="reverse", y="reverse") +
opts(strip.text.x=theme_text(angle=180),
strip.text.y=theme_text(angle=90),
axis.text.x=theme_text(angle=180),
axis.text.y=theme_text(angle=180),
axis.title.x=theme_text(angle=180),
axis.title.y=theme_text(angle=180))

print(p, vp=viewport(angle=180))

maybe you can see some unnecessary lines, then,

print(p)

and save the graphics as image file or PDF, then rotate it.

But I don't recommend this. This trick is just for joke.
