Equalize size of plots placed in juxtaposition by grid.arrange
I gathered three geom_bar()
plots in one plot by grid.arrange
:
geom_bar()
grid.arrange
I removed the y axis of the two right plots (Q2,Q3) and kept the y axis of Q1 as a common axis. Subsequently, I change plot.margin
a little bit to obtain a continuous x axis. Although this worked fine, it bugs me that the leftmost plot is smaller than the remaining two plots. I highlighted the difference in size by plotting the y axis again. I tried to fix this by changing plot.margin
but without success. Is there any way to equalize the size of the three plots?
plot.margin
plot.margin
facet_grid
grid.arrange
The plots do have the same width, but the bars on the left have smaller width because there are 3 instead of 2. The solution here might help: stackoverflow.com/questions/38101512/…

did you mean "equalize bar width" instead of "equalize size of plots"?

Does it help if you combine the plots using patchwork: github.com/thomasp85/patchwork

The package patchwork
(https://github.com/thomasp85/patchwork) automatically balances the size of the plots while aggregating the plots
