Adding x and y laxis label to ggplot-grid build with cowplot

Question

I produced a grid with cowplot:

library(ggplot2)
library(cowplot)

ggg1 <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg,vs)) + geom_point() +
  theme(axis.title.x=element_blank         


        

Answer 1

Here's an alternative strategy

library(grid)
library(gridExtra)
library(egg)
grid.arrange(gtable_cbind(gtable_frame(ggarrange(ggg1, ggg2, draw=F)), 
                          gtable_frame(ggplotGrob(ggg3))),
             left = textGrob("Left",rot=90), 
             bottom = textGrob("Bottom"))
