ggplot2，patchwork -轴标题的一部分，由相邻绘图的页边距阻止

Question

我有两个折线图，一个用“拼图”堆叠在另一个的下面。我想为堆栈添加一个通用的y轴标题，因此我在两行charts.After堆叠的上方添加了Y轴标签。我发现，y轴标签的下半部分被下部折线图的边缘遮挡(如下面附图中的绿色和黄色绘图背景所示).Here是代码和结果

# data
x<- 1:256
x
y<- runif(256, 0, 10)
y

data <- data.frame(x,y)
head(data)

# lc1
# Geom properties
lc1<- ggplot(data, aes(x=x, y=y)) + 
  geom_line()

# Scale
lc1<- lc1 +
  expand_limits(x = 0, y = 0) +
  scale_x_continuous(
    expand = c(0, 0),
    breaks = c(0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256),
    label = NULL
  ) +
  scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0, 0),
                     breaks = c(0, 5, 10))

# Aspect ratio
lc1 <- lc1 + theme(aspect.ratio = 0.15)

# Panel properties
lc1 <- lc1 +
  theme(panel.background = element_blank()) +
  theme(
    panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),
    panel.grid.major = element_blank(),
    legend.position = "none"
  )

# Axes lines, ticks, axis text
lc1 <- lc1 +
  theme(
    axis.line.x = element_line (colour = "grey", size = 0.5),
    axis.line.y = element_line(colour = "black", size = 0.5),
    axis.ticks.x = element_blank(),
    axis.ticks.y = element_line(colour = "black", size = 0.5),
    axis.ticks.length = unit(.15, "cm")
  ) +
  theme(
    axis.text.y = element_text(
      color = "black",
      face = "plain",
      size = 6,
      margin = margin(
        t = 0,
        r = 2,
        b = 0,
        l = 0
      ),
      angle = 0,
      vjust = 0,
      hjust = 0
    )
  )

# Title, caption, axes labels 
lc1<- lc1 + 
  ylab(label = "Y-axis label (unit)") +
  theme(axis.title.x = element_text(
    color = "black",
    size = 10,
    face = "bold",
    hjust = 0
  ))

# Plot margins
lc1 <- lc1 +
  theme(plot.margin = unit(c(-0.55,0,-0.53,0), "cm"))

# plot background
lc1<- lc1 + theme(plot.background = element_rect(fill = "green"))

lc1

所以我试着通过将下部图表的左边距从0减少到-1来解决这个问题，但是它没有改变边距并且轴标题仍然被阻塞。如果两个图表的左边距都减小到-1，y轴标题，则不再显示刻度，如下图所示。绿色和黄色填充矩形是绘图背景。

有没有人能帮我找到解决方案？如果你有什么想法，我还可以尝试什么？谢谢!

您可以简单地设置组合图的标题(而不是lc1或lc2)。您需要为lc1和lc2设置空白的y标签，就像您已经为lc2设置的一样(例如，ylab(label = "")。

p <- (lc1/lc2) + ylab(label = "Y-axis label (unit)")
