[R] graphics and 'layout' question
Hello,
I got stuck with a graphics question: I've 3 figures that I present on a
single page (window) via 'layout'. The layout is
layout(matrix(c(1,1,2,3), 2, 2, byrow=TRUE));
so that the frst plot spans the both columns in row one. Now I'd like to
magnify the fist figure so that it takes 20% more vertical space (i.e. more
space for the y-axis). How would I do this in R?
thanks a lot for your help,
Arne

Now I'd like to magnify the fist figure so that it takes 20% more vertical space (i.e. more space for the y-axis). How would I do this in R?Are you looking for the heights argument? For example: nf <- layout(matrix(c(1,1,2,3), 2, 2, byrow=TRUE), heights=c(70,30)) layout.show(nf)> thanks a lot for your help, > > Arne > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.-- Chuck Cleland, Ph.D. NDRI, Inc. 71 West 23rd Street, 8th floor New York, NY 10010 tel: (212) 845-4495 (Tu, Th) tel: (732) 512-0171 (M, W, F) fax: (917) 438-0894

How would I do this in R?From ?layout heights: a vector of values for the heights of rows on the device. Relative and absolute heights can be specified, see 'widths' above. So something like layout(matrix(c(1,1,2,3),2,2,byrow = TRUE), heights = c(0.6, 0.4)) should do the trick.

Use the heights parameter in the layout function, as shown in ?layout. For example, to get the first figure to be twice as tall as the other two, use:> layout(matrix(c(1,1,2,3),2,2,byrow=TRUE),heights=c(2,1)) > layout.show(3)On 15/09/06, Arne.Muller@sanofi-aventis.com <Arne.Muller@sanofi-aventis.com> wrote:> > Hello, > > I got stuck with a graphics question: I've 3 figures that I present on a > single page (window) via 'layout'.
