‘ggwrap’ wraps a ‘ggplot2’ plot over multiple rows, to make plots with long x axes easier to read.

The development version of ‘ggwrap’ can be installed from GitHub:

devtools::install_github("wilkox/ggwrap")

The ggwrap function takes two arguments: a ‘ggplot2’ plot, and the number of rows over which the plot should be wrapped.

Here’s a simple plot.

library(ggplot2)
library(ggwrap)
plot <- ggplot(economics, aes(x = date, y = unemploy, colour = uempmed)) +
  geom_line()
plot

We can use ggwrap to wrap the plot over four rows.

ggwrap(plot, 4)
