r - 像在facet_grid中一样在facet_wrap中设置 “space”

Question

我需要不同宽度的构面；左图显示了实验的动态范围，右图显示了测试条件。有没有办法用facet_wrap同时拥有免费的x和y缩放比例？在facet_grid中是可能的，但是即使使用scale =“free”，也存在固定的y缩放比例。 facet_wrap允许自由使用y比例尺，但x比例尺似乎是固定的。几年前，一个相同的问题也发布在了Google页面上，但答案并不令人满意。

很抱歉，如果这也是重复的话；任何帮助将不胜感激!

Answer 1

我不能绝对确定，但我认为答案是否定的-使用ggplot2命令。我也不认为这是一个好主意，因为y轴上的刻度不同对读者而言可能并不明显。不过，如果您必须具有绘图，则可以使用ggplot grob布局来调整q绘图的面板宽度。请注意，第一个面板具有两个x值，第二个面板具有七个x值。因此，将面板的默认宽度分别更改为2null和7null。

编辑:更新至ggplot2 2.2.0

library(ggplot2)
library(grid)
# get mdf data frame from the question

# Your q plot
q <- ggplot(mdf, aes(factor(strain), val)) +
  labs(x = "Strain", y = "intensity") +
  geom_boxplot() +
  geom_point() +
  facet_wrap( ~ type, scales = "free")
q

# Get the ggplot grob
gt = ggplotGrob(q)

# Check for the widths - you need to change the two that are set to 1null
gt$widths
# The required widths are 4 and 8

# Replace the default widths with relative widths:
gt$widths[4] = unit(2, "null")
gt$widths[8] = unit(7, "null")

# Draw the plot
grid.newpage()
grid.draw(gt)

# I think it is better to have some extra space between the two panels
gt$widths[5] = unit(1, "cm")
grid.newpage()
grid.draw(gt)

或者，使R确定相对宽度和面板。

gt = ggplotGrob(q)

# From 'dfm', get the number of 'strain' for each 'type'.
# That is, the number x-breaks in each panel.
library(dplyr)
N <- mdf %>% group_by(type) %>% 
     summarise(count = length(unique(strain))) %>% 
     `[[`(2)

# Get the column index in the gt layout corresponding to the panels.
panelI <- gt$layout$l[grepl("panel", gt$layout$name)]

# Replace the default panel widths with relative heights.
gt$widths[panelI] <- unit(N, "null")

# Add extra width between panels (assuming two panels)
gt$widths[panelI[1] + 1] = unit(1, "cm")

## Draw gt
grid.newpage()
grid.draw(gt)
