I'd love to hear what kids of problems you run into when making faceted plots or combining different plots together into a single figure! Leave a note here in the comments.

Great video, as always super explanatory and helpful for us

My main issue with faceting is how it interacts with additional layers. I was trying to make those relative abundance bar plots, but with a little line at the bottom to represent the percent read abundance, which I saw in a paper. If you try to facet this, the line would does not facet with the other objects and becomes duplicated and looks bad. To fix this I was looking into ggside, and adding the line at the top, rather than superimposing it as another layer.

I like to export as SVG and do the last touches in Inkscape. That way, if I need to change a color, shape, or legend, I have to edit the SVG and rarely need to go all the way back to ggplot.
