In ggplot2 you can pass character arguments inside a user defined function using aes_string. How can you do the same for facet grid which takes a formula, not
aes_string
reformulate() seems to work just fine.
reformulate()
FUN <- function(data, x, y, fac1, fac2) { ggplot(data = data, aes_string(x=x, y=y)) + geom_point() + facet_grid(reformulate(fac2,fac1)) } FUN(mtcars, 'hp', 'mpg', 'cyl', 'am')
