Syntax to split facet plots into 2 rows

[Neotropical bat risk assessments]

Hi all,

I have virtually what I need for publication, but I need to se the plots so I have two rows.  The top would be the 2006 and bottom 2007 to show readers the comparison.

All I have managed is to get this with a single row and by setting the PNG size was able to get the labels correctly displayed.

Now if I can get the plot to stack or two rows It will fit on page better.

Also still have not been able to solve the Centering issue of the Y axis label that seems to be forced to the bottom.



Cheers from the jungles of Belize,

Perhaps try creating a year variable, then using it as the Y part of
faceting. eg + facet_grid(year ~ day)

To get the labels to the right font size, use
theme_set(theme_grey(base_size = 7)) (or whatever size), best way to
do it for publication, I find is as a PDF, made to exactly the right
size, so that you get exactly the right sized font. You can also turn
the labels to a different angle somehow.

Not sure what you mean by centering on the Y axis ...

Hi all,

Sorry meant to send the lines of code for the plot and missed that.

Here is is:

.....
ggplot(ElTab, aes(Date, elapsed, colour = Location)) +
  geom_jitter() +
  facet_wrap(~ Species)
#adding the ylab line works.
breaks <- (1:24) * 3600
labels <- paste(c(19:23, 0:18), "00", sep = ":")
f=png(file="El Taburete all_plot.png", width = 1000, height = 600,
    units = "px", pointsize = 8, bg = "white",
    res = NA, restoreConsole = TRUE)
 
ggplot(ElTab, aes(Species, elapsed,)) +
  geom_point() +
  facet_grid(. ~ Date) +
  scale_y_continuous(breaks = breaks, labels = labels) + ylab("Time")
dev.off()

for the y-label, see

I don't know what you mean, it is definitely there.

alternatively you could just source the theme_bw() i posted or the one
in the dev version of ggplot2.
