Big help for the tag. Before I usually put a title/subtitle in each plot before combining. Excited to use the tag option. Thanks for this, Albert!

You're welcome. Glad that you found something valuable for your use cases 😊

Great content bro. Subbed.

Very helpful video for the layouts and arrangements of R plots! How the rug plots underneath the boxplots were created?

[@rappa753]

Glad that you like it. As for your question, I just used geom_point() and set the shapes of the point to the string "|". This works but makes the symbols really small so you'll have to crank up that size.

[@user-od9uc6xd3b]

Thank your very much for your kindly reply. This method seems to have appeared in your previous videos and it really have done a great favour to me.@@rappa753

First!

[@olearydj]

Good stuff! I’ve found that patchwork objects tend to have a square shape. How can we work around that?

[@rappa753]

I think when you use + without a layout, then patchwork tries to make things as square-y as possible. But with a layout (in which you also include white spaces) you should be able to make any shapes you want.

[@olearydj]

Ahhh, that makes sense. I'll give it a shot. Thank you! This would be a good general topic for future videos - how to control the overall shape of graphs in Quarto, R Studio, etc. It would help me, anyway. Also, more about tables. Thanks for what you do.@@rappa753

[@fotensolution6504]

Thanks but it does not work for me. The challenge is always the version of R. This does not work for all versions of R, so it is important to emphasize on the version of r so that people will not get confused if it does not work for them.

[@rappa753]

What R version are you using? I'm wondering because Patchwork has been around for a couple of years now so there should be a somewhat good backward compatibility 🤔
