\description{Wrap a 1d ribbon of panels into 2d.}
\details{
This page describes facet\_wrap, see \code{\link{layer}} and \code{\link{qplot}} for how to create a complete plot from individual components.
}
\usage{facet_wrap(facets, nrow = NULL, ncol = NULL, scales = "fixed", 
    as.table = TRUE, drop = TRUE, ...)}
\arguments{
 \item{facets}{NULL}
 \item{nrow}{number of rows}
 \item{ncol}{number of columns}
 \item{scales}{should scales be fixed, free, or free in one dimension (\code{free_x}, \code{free_y}) }
 \item{as.table}{NULL}
 \item{drop}{NULL}
 \item{...}{other arguments}
