R help - Feb 2006 - Plotting two 3-dimensional time series in a 3 x 2 plot - alternatives to par(mfrow())

I am trying to plot two 3-dimensional time series in one window (such that there
will be 3 rows and 2 columns). For zoo and ts objects the par(mfrow...) option
does not work. I can get xyplot to make the plots, but data are on widely
different scales in the three dimensions, and xyplot uses the same scale on all
y-axis which means that in some dimensions the curves will be almost horizontal
lines. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

You can instruct xyplot to choose separate y-limits for each panel by
specifying

xyplot(..., scales = list(y = "free"))

plot.zoo takes the nc= argument which specifies the number of columns
it uses, e.g.

library(zoo)
library(tseries)
data(USeconomic)
z <- as.zoo(USeconomic)
plot(z, nc = 2)
