I would like to draw a box at the bottom of each panel, where each panel may have different y-ranges. The box should always be from 3 to 7 on the x-axis and from the border at the bottom of the panel to about 5% of y-axis high. So I would like to specify the coordinates of e.g. annotation_custom or geom_rect in units something like:
xmin=unit(3, "native"), xmax=unit(7,"native"), ymin=unit(0,"npc"), ymax=unit(0.05,"npc") I can do it, but the units seem to be ignored, its always native.
library("grid") library("ggplot2") df <- data.frame(x=c(1:10,1:10),y=c(1:10,1001:1010),condition=rep(c("A","B"),each=10)) g <- rectGrob(gp=gpar(fill="black")) p <- ggplot(df, aes(x=x,y=y)) + geom_line() + facet_wrap(~ condition, scales="free_y") p + geom_rect(xmin=3,xmax=7,ymin=0.56,ymax=1,colour="black", fill="black") g <- rectGrob(gp=gpar(fill="black")) p + annotation_custom(g, xmin=3, xmax=7, ymin=0, ymax=1 ) p + annotation_custom(g, xmin=unit(3, "native"), xmax=unit(7,"native"),ymin=unit(0,"npc"),ymax=unit(1,"npc") )
