Multiple ggplots of different sizes

Question

It\'s relatively simple using grid.arrange in the gridExtra package to arrange multiple plots in a matrix, but how can you arrange plots (the ones

Answer 1

An alternative with gtable

library(gtable)

gl <- lapply(1:9, function(ii) grobTree(textGrob(ii), rectGrob()))
# gl <- lapply(1:9, function(ii) ggplotGrob(qplot(1,1) + ggtitle(ii)))

gt <- gtable(widths=unit(rep(1,5), "null"),
             heights=unit(rep(1,3), "null"))

gtable_add_grobs <- gtable_add_grob # alias

gt <- gtable_add_grobs(gt, gl, 
                       l=c(1,4,5,4,5,1,2,3,4),
                       r=c(3,4,5,4,5,1,2,3,5),
                       t=c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3),
                       b=c(2,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3))
grid.newpage()
grid.draw(gt)
