Is it possible to set the margin in ggplot2 to a fixed size? I create many
plots, and I want them to look the same.

Especially I want them to have the same left margin.

But

P<-ggplot()+geom_bar(aes(c("short label1","short
label2"),runif(2)))+coord_flip()

P<-creates a plot with another margin as 

ggplot()+geom_bar(aes(c("very very very very long label1","short
label2"),runif(2)))+coord_flip()

 

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

Frans
