I'm not sure it's currently possible with ggplot2 (lattice and latticeExtra offer some workarounds for this).

Perhaps you can try this,

(neater here: )

except that in your case you'd have to place several legends.

I have three plots and I want the *plot area* to be of the same width on each plot. Since the three plots have different legends, the text width
of the legend affects the width of the plot area (longer legend text =
narrower plot area).  Exporting the three figures to postscript device
of same size gives thus unequal plot areas.  How can I calculate the
correct width of postscript device for each figure, so that plot areas
will be equally wide?

Is there a better alternative?

(I tried to place the legend inside the plot area, which kinda works, but the problem is that legend.position is relative to the *device*, not to the *plot area*, so I don' know how to align the legend with plot border.)
