Efficient Scale Creation: Merging Cartesian and View Scales for Panels
Based on the provided output, it appears that the train_cartesian function has been modified to match the output format of view_scales_from_scale. This modification allows for a more efficient and flexible way of creating scales with panels. Here is the corrected code: p <- test_data %>% ggplot(aes(x=Nsubjects, y = Odds, color=EffectSize)) + facet_wrap(DataType ~ ExpType, labeller = label_both, scales="free") + geom_line(size=2) + geom_ribbon(aes(ymax=Upper, ymin=Lower, fill=EffectSize, color=NULL), alpha=0.2) p + coord_panel_ranges(panel_ranges = list( list(x=c(8,64), y=c(1,4)), # Panel 1 list(x=c(8,64), y=c(1,6)), # Panel 2 list(NULL), # Panel 3, an empty list falls back on the default values list(x=c(8,64), y=c(1,7)) # Panel 4 )) p <- p %+% {test_data %>% mutate(facet = as.
