Increase grid.arrange plot size

Question

I'm using grid.arrange to display the following three plots on top of each other.

p1 <- ggseasonplot(ng2) + labs(title = "Natural Gas Consumption from Jan. 2001 to Nov. 2021 - Seasonal Plot", x = "Month", y = "Cubic Feet (Millions)") + scale_y_continuous(labels = unit_format(unit = "M", scale = 1e-6))
p2 <- ggsubseriesplot(ng2) + labs(title = "Natural Gas Consumption from Jan. 2001 to Nov. 2021 - Subseries Plot", x = "Month", y = "Cubic Feet (Millions)") + scale_y_continuous(labels = unit_format(unit = "M", scale = 1e-6))
p3 <- ggAcf(ng2, lag.max = 36) + labs(title = "Natural Gas Consumption from Jan. 2001 to Nov. 2021 - ACF Plot", x = "Lag", y = "Correlation") 

gridExtra::grid.arrange(p1, p2, p3, nrow = 3, ncol = 1)

The resulting plots are unreadable.

Using the heights function only seems to adjust plot size relative to one another. Any idea how to make each plot larger (longer) as a whole so each is more readable?

Have you checked `cowplot::plot_grid(rel_width, rel_height)`? — Jonathan V. Solórzano, Feb 17 '22 at 23:43

In your markdown/knitr chunk, try a value like fig.height = 10

```{r, fig.height = 10}
# Small fig.width
ggplot(cars, aes(speed, dist)) + geom_point()
```

Or you can set the default height for all the figures in an Rmd file

knitr::opts_chunk$set(fig.height = 10)

This happens when rendering into HTML markdown. Is there a way to apply a figure height to a single chunk of code instead of the entire document? – bristol3328 Feb 18 '22 at 14:12
At the top of the chunk put: ```{r fig.height=5, fig.width=8} – Dan Adams Feb 18 '22 at 14:32

The first example applies to just a chunk. The second example applies to the whole document. – wibeasley Feb 18 '22 at 15:52
