I thought that facet_wrap was created to "control" the layout of facet_grid plot with one-side formula, since a facet_grid plot with one-side formula should be (almost?) identical with a facet_wrap plot with nrow (or ncol) = 1. By the way, I've just test this thing to see the diffences between the two plots : d <- ggplot(diamonds, aes(carat, price, fill = ..density..)) + xlim(0, 2) + stat_binhex(na.rm = TRUE) + opts(aspect.ratio = 1) ## from official documentation d + facet_grid(~ color) d + facet_wrap(~ color) d + facet_wrap(~ color, nrow = 1) Erreur dans rep(list(nullGrob()), nrow * ncol - length(vec)) : argument 'times' incorrect Is this error normal ? facet_wrap must always give a 2d ribbon of panels ?
