setting theme options with theme_set returns an error with current patchwork

[picasa]

Hello,

I can't find traces of this patchwork error online. I do not understand this error but can fix it by setting theme options in individual plots. My initial problem was with plots in list-columns and it took me a while to get to the theme_set option; hence this post :)

library(ggplot2)
library(patchwork)

theme_set(theme_void())

p1 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_point(aes(mpg, disp)) 
p2 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_boxplot(aes(gear, disp, group = gear)) 

p1 + p2
#> Error in x$grobs[[grep(paste0("^", name, "$"), x$layout$name)]]: attempt to select less than one element in get1index

Hi, I don't understand the solution, which options do you set for each plot?

I tried adding the theme with (p1 + theme_void()) + (p2 + theme_void()) but resulted on the same error message.

Hmmm, yes I did not thought to try your way. I defined theme options at the plot level.

library(ggplot2)
library(patchwork)

p1 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_point(aes(mpg, disp)) + theme_void()
p2 <- ggplot(mtcars) + geom_boxplot(aes(gear, disp, group = gear)) + theme_void()

p1 + p2
