I am creating a 2x2 ggplot using facet_wrap where the columns are two different groups.This means that the x-axis on the columns is the same between the top row and the bottom row, but different between the columns. I want to remove the repeated x-axis tick labels, when they are repeated.
Is it possible to have the x-axis vary between columns in facet_wrap?
This is a toy example of the data, and what I have tried so far. What you will see is that the x-axis is repeated in the top and bottom row, when I use the argument "scales = free_x". If I don't use free_x then the scale of the x-axis is too wide for each plot.
Is there an argument I could use, or should I be looking at something like patchwork to link the plots together?
library(ggplot2)n = 100df = data.frame(x = c(rnorm(n/2), rnorm(n/2, mean = 100)), y = rnorm(n), group = rep(1:2, each = n/2), facet = rep(c("A", "C", "B", "D"), each = n/4))ggplot(data = df, aes(x = x, y = y)) + geom_point() + facet_wrap(~facet + group, scales = "free_x")
