Place a legend for each facet_wrap grid in ggplot2

Question

I have this data frame:

        Date Server FileSystem PercentUsed
1  12/1/2011      A          /          60
2   1/2/2012      A       /var          50
3            


        

Answer 1

Instead of using facets, we could make a list of plots per group, then use cowplot::plot_grid for plotting. Each will have it's own legend:

# make list of plots
ggList <- lapply(split(x, x$Server), function(i) {
  ggplot(i, aes(Date, PercentUsed, group = 1, colour = FileSystem)) + 
    geom_jitter(size = 2) +
    geom_smooth(method = "loess", se = TRUE)})

# plot as grid in 1 columns
cowplot::plot_grid(plotlist = ggList, ncol = 1,
                   align = 'v', labels = levels(x$Server))

As suggested by @Axeman, we could add labels using facet_grid(~Server), instead of labels = levels(x$Server).
