    Hi alya1 

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to synchronize the proportions of different small multiples and their axes. To achieve similar proportions, you need to use the same layout.

    It is also important to note that the brain finds it easiest to compare shapes from top to bottom. Therefore, it may be worth considering arranging the graphs vertically in one column.

    It is also important to note that it is not really possible or accurate to compare two different graphs with different units. This is not comparing "apples to apples". $100 and 80% are not the same thing. Just as we would not write the sentence "on" another sentence because the reader cannot read it in this form.
    The comparison is each graph and its message.
