Rich, I think we have suggested something several times that you ignore as you are focused on your way of thinking.
If you read the last part of the letter I wrote in public, I suggest combining your multiple dataframes into one if they are compatible and including a new column called something like PLACE. The existence of that variable lets you tell ggplot you want MULTIPLE plots placed in a grid based on that variable OR in other words, asking ggplot to subdivide your data into four parts and make one plot for each and then place them into a matrix. I will not spell out the many variations you can make but some variations have you add another layer to the ggplot that may use formula notation to specify what combination of variables to do the subdivisions by or specifying you want then in rows (meaning vertically stacked) based on a variable and so on. Look up facet_grid() and facet_wrap() as various ways to do this. Note you may want to examine some options such as setting the scales to be the same or free. -----Original Message----- From: R-help <r-help-boun...@r-project.org> On Behalf Of Rich Shepard Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2021 12:22 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] ggplot2: multiple box plots, different tibbles/dataframes On Thu, 11 Nov 2021, Avi Gross wrote: > Boxplots like many other things in ggplot can be grouped in various ways. > I often do something like this: Avi, I've designed and used multiple boxplots in many projects.

I'll be testing this: ggp <- ggplot(NULL, aes(x, y)) + # Draw ggplot2 plot based on two data frames geom_point(data = data1, col = "red") + geom_line(data = data2, col = "blue") ggp # Draw plot today, but using four boxplots.
