title: ticks and text - facet_grid ggplot
body: <p>I want to plot a group of time series with ggplot, to be printed on a B5 paper.</p>
  
  <p>Are able to make this plot:</p>
  
  <pre><code>qplot(trade.date, value, data = meltreg2, geom='line', group = variable) + 
    facet_grid(variable ~ ., scale = 'free_y')  +
    scale_x_date(expand=c(0,0), name='') +
    opts(strip.text.y = theme_blank(), strip.background = theme_blank(), panel.background = 
      theme_rect(), panel.grid.major=theme_blank(), panel.grid.minor=theme_blank(), axis.title.x =
      theme_blank(), axis.title.y = theme_blank(), panel.margin = unit(0.5, 'line')
    ) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but is there any way I can get ticks and text on all graphs (three graphs)?</p>
  
  <p>and how should I save the plot to best suit a B5 (landscape) page?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>I would like to have ticks and text on all x axis, not to hide them with theme_blank().
  (the default for the plot above is only ticks and text on the graph that is plotted "last", but I need on all)</p>
