⚠️There's a newer version (1.2.0) of this package. Take me there.

patchwork

The goal of patchwork is to make it ridiculously simple to combine separate ggplots into the same graphic. As such it tries to solve the same problem as gridExtra::grid.arrange() and cowplot::plot_grid but using an API that incites exploration and iteration, and scales to arbitrily complex layouts.

Installation

You can install patchwork from github with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("thomasp85/patchwork")

Basic example

The usage of patchwork is simple: just add plots together!

library(ggplot2)
library(patchwork)

p1 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_point(aes(mpg, disp))
p2 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_boxplot(aes(gear, disp, group = gear))

p1 + p2

patchwork provides rich support for arbitrarily complex layouts with full alignment. As an example, check out this very readable code for nesting three plots on top of a third:

p3 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_smooth(aes(disp, qsec))
p4 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_bar(aes(carb))

(p1 | p2 | p3) /
      p4
