    <p>Building on my <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10183292/how-can-i-remove-empty-factors-from-ggplot2-facets">previous question</a> I'd like to add second axis label on the opposite side of the plot.</p> <p>The data frame looks like:</p> <pre><code>test &lt;- structure(list(characteristic = structure(c(1L, 2L, 3L, 1L, 2L ), .Label = c("Factor1", "Factor2", "Factor3"), class = "factor"), es = c(1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.3, 1.5), ci_low = c(1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.2, 1.4), ci_upp = c(1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 1.4, 1.6), label = structure(c(1L, 3L, 5L, 2L, 4L), .Label = c("1.2 (1.1, 1.3)", "1.3 (1.2, 1.4)", "1.4 (1.3, 1.5)", "1.5 (1.4, 1.6)", "1.6 (1.5, 1.7)"), class = "factor"), set = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L), .Label = c("H", "S" ), class = "factor")), .Names = c("characteristic", "es", "ci_low", "ci_upp", "label", "set"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -5L)) </code></pre> <p>Using <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/1000343/tyler-rinker">Tyler's solution</a>, a graph of it looks like that at the moment:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5tUpb.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>In a similar way to a forest plot I'd like to add a second set of labels (<code>label</code> variable in my data frame) representing graphed values, preferably on the right side of panels. So that it all mimics forest plot similar to this example:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Febok.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I know that second axis <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3099219/how-to-use-ggplot2-make-plot-with-2-y-axes-one-y-axis-on-the-left-and-another">seems to be frowned upon</a>. However these are just another set of labels.. ant it seems to be a custom among forest plots.</p> <p>How can I do that in ggplot?</p>

    2. CO@Chase: Thanks for that. Indeed much easily hackable using `plot`. Still wondering if one could do that in ggplot2?

    3. COThe second axis is only frowned upon when it is a totally different variable (e.g. temperature and sediment concentration). A second axis which is a transformed version of the first is perfectly acceptable (e.g. temperature in C, or in K, or in F).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
