How to create the plots arranged in a list that were generated using ggplot2 in R?


If we have two plots generated by using ggplot2 and arranged in a list then we can create them using ggarrange function. For example, if we have two objects p1 and p2 that are stored in the list called named as LIST then those plots can be created in the plot window by using the command ggarrange(plotlist=LIST,widths=c(2,1),labels=c("Scatter","Hist"))

Example

Consider the below data frame −

 Live Demo

set.seed(21)
x<−rnorm(20)
y<−rnorm(20)
df<−data.frame(x,y)
df

Loading the ggplot2 package and creating the plots −

Example

library(ggplot2)
Scatterplot<−ggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_point()
Hist_of_x<−ggplot(df,aes(x))+geom_histogram(bins=30)
List<−list(Scatterplot,Hist_of_x)
ggarrange(plotlist=List,widths=c(2,1),labels=c("Scatter","Hist"))
