Move ggplot2 Facet Plot Labels to the Bottom in R (Example) For this task, we have to specify the switch function to be equal to "both" as shown in the following R code: ggplot ( data, aes ( x, y)) + # Move labels to bottom geom_point () + facet_grid ( ~ group, switch = "both") In Figure 2 you can see that we have plotted a new version of our facet graph where the text labels are shown at the bottom.
