Maximum number of plots for grid.arrange() #36

Closed ma-lima closed 7 years ago

ma-lima commented 7 years ago

I want to show 100 plots, in a 10x10 arrangement.
I use a loop to generate the plots and name each one (G1, G2, GP3, G4 ... G100).

If I set up my loop for 20 iterations and use:

grid.arrange(G1,G2,G3,G4....G20,ncol=10)

I get what I expect: 20 plots in 2 rows with 10 columns in each row.

However, if I have more than 20 plots, I get the following message:

Error in arrangeGrob(...) : object 'G21' not found

Is there some internal limit to grid.arrange() that restricts it to 20 objects?
Is there a way to show more than 20 plots?

there is no such restriction.

pl = replicate(50, ggplot(), FALSE)
grid.arrange(grobs = gl)
