Explicitly set panel size (not just plot size) in ggplot2
Is it possible to explicitly set the panel size (i.e., the gray grid panel) in a ggplot? I imagine (but can't find) that there is some ggplot extension that allows for arguments that resemble panel.width = unit(3, "in"), panel.height = unit(4, "in").
I have seen solutions for setting the size of the entire plot, or of getting multiple plots to align using the egg package. But nothing that would let me explicitly set the size of the panel.
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
library(tibble)
ds_mt <- mtcars %>% rownames_to_column("model")
mt_short <- ds_mt %>% arrange(nchar(model)) %>% slice(1:4)
mt_long <- ds_mt %>% arrange(-nchar(model)) %>% slice(1:4)
p_short <-
mt_short %>%
ggplot(aes(x = model, y = mpg)) +
geom_col() +
coord_flip()
p_short
r ggplot2

@jan-glx, ggsave() can set the dimensions of the entire plot, but I am trying to control the dimensions of the panel within the plot.
