I 've updated my R version including all packages and the function arrangeGrob (Package gridExtra) has changed.
On my old version R version 3.1.3 I used it as the following to make corner labels:
loading r packages
library(ggplot2)
library(grid)
library(gridExtra)
example data
a <- 1:20
b <- sample(a, 20)
c <- sample(b, 20)
d <- sample(c, 20)
create a data frame
mydata <- data.frame(a, b, c, d)
create example plots
myplot1 <- ggplot(mydata, aes(x=a, y=b)) + geom_point()
myplot2 <- ggplot(mydata, aes(x=b, y=c)) + geom_point()
myplot3 <- ggplot(mydata, aes(x=c, y=d)) + geom_point()
myplot4 <- ggplot(mydata, aes(x=d, y=a)) + geom_point()
set corner labels
myplot1 <- arrangeGrob(myplot1, main = textGrob("A", x = unit(0, "npc")
, y = unit(1, "npc"), just=c("left","top"),
gp=gpar(col="black", fontsize=18, fontfamily="Times Roman")))
myplot2 <- arrangeGrob(myplot2, main = textGrob("B", x = unit(0, "npc")
, y = unit(1, "npc"), just=c("left","top"),
gp=gpar(col="black", fontsize=18, fontfamily="Times Roman")))
myplot3 <- arrangeGrob(myplot3, main = textGrob("C", x = unit(0, "npc")
, y = unit(1, "npc"), just=c("left","top"),
gp=gpar(col="black", fontsize=18, fontfamily="Times Roman")))
myplot4 <- arrangeGrob(myplot4, main = textGrob("D", x = unit(0, "npc")
, y = unit(1, "npc"), just=c("left","top"),
gp=gpar(col="black", fontsize=18, fontfamily="Times Roman")))
grid.arrange(myplot1, myplot2, myplot3, myplot4)
and I got the following plot, which was fine:
but under the new R version 3.2.2 the image looks like this:
arrangeGrob opens for every textGrob a new image and I got eight images on one page instead of four. How can I fixed it that the plot looks like in the old version of R and gridExtra?
