8.3 Wrapping up
This chapter has given a brief overview of some of the composition possibilities provided by patchwork, but is in no way exhaustive. Patchwork provides support for more than just ggplots and allows you to combine grid and base graphic elements with your plots as well if need be. It also allows even more complex designs using the area()
constructor instead of the textual representation showcased here. All of these functionalities and many more are covered in the different guides available on its website: https://patchwork.data-imaginist.com
