Possible to place legend in empty facet?

[skipperhoyer]

Hello!

In, for example, the graphic generated below, the facets are arranged in a three-by-three arrangement.  There are 9 facets, so the last facet space is blank. The legend is added to the right of the entire plot, which interferes with the shape of the plots, for a fixed full figure size. Is it possible to place the legend in the blank space?

library(reshape)

library(ggplot2)
dat <- data.frame("class" = as.factor(rep(letters[1:5], each = 10)),
"age" = as.factor(rep(1:5, 10)),
"gender" = sample(c("M", "F"), replace = T, size = 50),
"score" = rnorm(n=50))
ggplot(dat, aes(x = class, y = score, colour = gender)) + geom_point() +

facet_wrap(~age)

Thanks folks!

try this:

ggplot(dat, aes(x = class, y = score, colour = gender)) + geom_point() +

facet_wrap(~age) +
theme(legend.position = c(1, 0), legend.justification = c(1, 0))
