How can I remove empty factors from ggplot2 facets?

by

EDIT Updated to ggplot2 0.9.3

Here’s another solution. It uses facet_grid and space = "free"; also it uses geom_point() and geom_errorbarh(), and thus there is no need for coord.flip(). Also, the x-axis tick mark labels appear on the lower panel only. In the code below, the theme command is not essential – it is used to rotate the strip text to appear horizontally. Using the test dataframe from above, the following code should produce what you want:

library(ggplot2)

p <- ggplot(test, aes(y = characteristic, x = es, xmin = ci_low, xmax = ci_upp)) +
   geom_point() +
   geom_errorbarh(height = 0) +
   facet_grid(set ~ ., scales = "free", space = "free") +
   theme_bw() +
   theme(strip.text.y = element_text(angle = 0))

p

The solution is based on the example on page 124 in Wickham’s ggplot2 book.
