Layout lattice independent x axes across cells

[DGrint]

I'm trying to produce a rather complicated lattice plot stacking 3 forest plots on top of each other. When I do this with layout gridded the horizontal distribution of each cell is fine, but the top graph is bigger than the bottom two, so gets squashed.

Using layout lattice and setting rowweights gets round the vertical squashing, but when i do this the horizontal distribution is messed up in each cell. It seems like layout lattice is lining up the scatter plots so they appear above each other. From the documentation, I thought the default was rowdatarange=data which should make each cell independent, but it isn't working. See images below for example.

Can anyone advise?

   		layout lattice / rows=3 rowgutter=5 rowweights=(0.5 0.25 0.25) rowdatarange=data columndatarange=data;

Layout griddedLayout lattice

[DanH_sas · Accepted solution]

In a lattice, the margins of the plot are always lined up, regardless of the data range setting. However, there is a trick to disabling the alignment. Try wrapping each of your LAYOUT OVERLAY blocks with a LAYOUT GRIDDED. The extra level layout disconnects the LAYOUT OVERLAYs from the alignment negotiations. Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks!
