Setting ylim and xlim in facet_grid

[Vikas Rawal]

I am using the following code to make a graph

-----------

ggplot(data1,aes(x=Year,y=value,group="country_name"))->p
p+facet_grid(apy~country_name,scales="free_y")->p
p+theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=90, vjust=0.5, size=10),axis.title.y=element_blank(),strip.text.y=element_text(size=10))

——————

The dataframe data1 has variables Year, value, country_name and apy. Variable apy takes three values: “Area", “Yield" and “Production". The scales of Area, Yield and Production are different. To deal with this, I would like to explicitly specify the limits of the scales for Area, Yield and Production in the facet_grid command. These would have to be different for each of them.

How could I possibly do that? Or is there any other way in ggplot to specify (different) limits of scales in different facets.

This SO question has a hack that works:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4276218/how-do-you-set-different-scale-limits-for-different-facets

Here is the (closed) issue on the ggplot2 github that looks at the issue: https://github.com/hadley/ggplot2/issues/187

You may want finer control, but...
I don't think there is an issue.
You could try:

scales="free"

you could also try reordering the facet:

country_name~apy

I prefer to let the data speak for themselves. The default extension of
the plot margins make sense. Your code looks fine (except for spaces
etc.). Maybe I don't understand the problem.
