Specify ggplot2 labeller options without passing label values

I have a facetted point plot, and the facets are based on multiple factors:

p = p + facet_wrap(~ model + run, ncol = 1, scales = 'fixed')

I'm happy with ggplot2 using the existing unique values of model and run to build the facet labels, but I'd like to have them across one line, not multiple. However,

p = p + facet_wrap(~ model + run, ncol = 1, scales = 'fixed',
  labeller = label_value(multi_line = FALSE)

results in a missing argument error, because label_value() expects the argument labels first:

Error in lapply(labels, as.character) :
  argument "labels" is missing, with no default

I'm not sure how to supply this given there are multiple facetting variables specified. If I leave the labeller out entirely, ggplot2 seems happy to work it out itself.

You want to pass the function without calling it (it will be called with the labels when constructing the plot), so:

p = p + facet_wrap(~ model + run, ncol = 1, scales = 'fixed',
  labeller = function(labs) {label_value(labs, multi_line = FALSE)})
