The violin plot (b) doesn't seem to align well with the forest plot (a). While the 5th column seems to align well, all other columns do not.
I've tried the plot_grid, ggarange, grid_draw functions and they don't seem to fix the alignment.
My result:
My code:
library(ggplot2)
library(cowplot)
#plots
a <- ggplot(data=dat_1, aes(x=varno, y=-coef, ymin=-LCI, ymax=-UCI))+
geom_errorbar(width=0,size = 2,color="steelblue")+
geom_point(size=5, color="steelblue")+
geom_hline(yintercept=0, color="black", linetype="dashed", alpha=.5)+ #add x=0 line
scale_y_continuous(name = "r")+
scale_x_continuous()+
ggtitle("A)")+
theme_minimal()+
theme(axis.text.x = element_blank(),
axis.title.x = element_blank())
b <- ggplot(dat_2, aes(y=score, x=as.factor(group), fill=as.factor(time)))+
geom_violin(position=position_dodge(0.5), trim=T)+
scale_x_discrete()+
labs(fill = "time",y="ratings")+
ggtitle("B)")+
theme_minimal()+
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90),
axis.title.x = element_blank(),
legend.position = "bottom")
plot_grid(a, b, align = "v", ncol = 1 )
My data:
