Hi Ista, Your suggestion is not the solution I need. My problem is that in this way each plot gets another margin. I try to create a presentation with about 10 plots.The presentation does'nt look well if each plot has another marging. Is there way to set the margin manually?

Well, the margin is being set large enough to accommodate? the labels. So if you want narrower margins just shorten the labels: ? library(stringr) P + scale_x_discrete(labels = function(x) str_wrap(x, width=12)) ? ? HTH, Ista On Fri, Dec 21,

In the
standard plot system margins can be set with par(mar=c(...)),
but this
doesn't work in ggplot2
?
I thought I
could do it with plot.margin, but
?
p+theme(plot.margin= unit(c(0, 0, 0,3), "cm"))
?
doesn't
work,it adds extra, external margins.

Does anyone
know a solution?
?
Thanks
