I'm trying to make a gene model plot using the ggbio tracks function. When I do autoplot alone, it looks fine, but when I use tracks, the x-axis ticks are misaligned. Please see if you can reproduce the issue using the code below:

library(ggbio)
library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene)
txdb <- TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene

data(genesymbol, package = "biovizBase")
wh <- genesymbol[c("BRCA1", "NBR1")]
wh <- range(wh, ignore.strand = TRUE)

p <- autoplot(txdb, which=wh)

# Plot 1: http://www.stanford.edu/~cooketho/test1.png

p

# Plot 2: http://www.stanford.edu/~cooketho/test2.png
tracks(p, p)

I do see the issue you are reporting but it took a bit of gawking to appreciate it.

It seems that the data space was rescaled to cope with the additional vertical content but

the bounding geometry was not updated.  Please contact the maintainer, your example is very clear.

Thanks for the response Vincent! I've contacted the maintainer.

In the meantime, I found a workaround (below) using grid that approximates the output of tracks, but has correctly aligned x-axis ticks.

http://stanford.edu/~cooketho/test1.pdf

http://stanford.edu/~cooketho/test2.pdf

http://stanford.edu/~cooketho/test3.pdf

library(grid)
library(ggbio)
library(TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene)
txdb <- TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene

data(genesymbol, package = "biovizBase")
wh <- genesymbol[c("BRCA1", "NBR1")]
wh <- range(wh, ignore.strand = TRUE)

# Make a gene model, as in the vignette.
p <- autoplot(txdb, which=wh)
# Make a pdf of the plot.
pdf('test1.pdf')
p
dev.off()
# OK. So far so good!

# Stack two of the same plot on top of each other with tracks.
q <- tracks(p, p)
pdf('test2.pdf')
q
dev.off()

# Oops! X-axis ticks are misaligned.

# Try the same thing using grid:
# Get the ggplot2 object from the ggbio object.
p2 <- p@ggplot
# Make an upper plot without x-axis ticks.
p3 <- p2 + theme(axis.text.x = element_blank(), axis.ticks.x = element_blank())
# Convert to grobs and align them with gtable.
p4 <- gtable:::rbind_gtable(ggplotGrob(p3), ggplotGrob(p2), "first")
# Draw the grobs with grid.
pdf('test3.pdf')
grid.draw(p4)
dev.off()
# Looks better!
