Unit comparison still not fixed in r/cbind

[thomasp85]

I seem to run into the following error

Error in mmm < each : comparison of these types is not implemente

when trying to bind together two plots generated with ggplot2 e.g.

p1 <- qplot(mpg, cyl, data=mtcars, geom='line')
p2 <- qplot(drat, wt, data=mtcars, geom='point')
rbind(ggplotGrob(p1), ggplotGrob(p2))

The same error was referenced in #15 by baptiste but that PR was closed down. What is the status of this?

FWIW in https://github.com/baptiste/gridextra/blob/master/R/gtable.r I redefined a few gtable functions to improve rbind/cbind/join behaviour, though if I remember correctly joins still had some issues, and ggplot2 broke for some reason.

You did, and I've used that as a base for my own hacks when needed. Maybe I'll add a PR when I have the time. An additional nicety would be to have a "first.nonzero" and "last.nonzero" option
