Facetting - can be consider as a method to create multiple panel plots based on splitting attributes which we decide.

**Using facet\_grid**

```
ggplot(gapminder, aes(x=continent, y=gdpPercap))
 + geom_bar(stat = 'identity', fill='forest green')
   + facet_wrap(~year)
```

**Using facet\_wrap**

```
ggplot(gapminder, aes(x=pop)) + geom_density() +
 facet_wrap(~year) + scale_x_log10()
```

**Main difference I noticed was:**

\*facet\_wrap\* was working only for a single varaibles, but to create a multple plot in two dimension we had to used \*facet-grid\*
