Hi,

I wish to plot multiple histograms(representing different data so different range along xaxis but y axis is the same) horizontally in ggplot2. I'd like
it to look like facets. Is this possible?

Can you give a small example, say, using the diamonds dataset, or one of your own? What's wrong with:

  data(diamonds)
  qplot(carat, data = diamonds,
        facets = color ~ .,
        geom = "histogram",
        binwidth = 0.1, xlim = c(0,3))

which is Figure 2.16 in the ggplot2 book. You can change this to be horizontal.

Unless you mean different variables completely, in which case you can create your own grid viewports, or possibly use the reshape package along with faceting. Without a concrete example, it's hard to offer more help.

Here is a complete example of what I think you want, using the reshape package.

library(reshape)
library(ggplot2)
tmp <- data.frame(v1 = rnorm(100),
                  v2 = rnorm(100, 10))

melted <- melt(data = tmp, measure.vars = c("v2", "v1"))

qplot(value, data = melted, geom = "histogram") +
    facet_wrap( ~ variable, scales = "free")
