Producing a matrix of graphs with ggplot2

Sometimes it is useful to display your plots next to one another. This recipe lets you do this by leveraging the facet grid() function in the ggplot2 package.

Getting ready

The example we will cover in this recipe will require us to apply functions from the ggplot2 package, and we will therefore have to install and load this package.

Moreover, we will use functions from the rio and tidyr package in this section.

Let's install and load these packages before moving on:

install.packages(c("ggplot2","tidyr","rio"))
