R help - Jan 2008 - Question about putting multiple plots on the same page

Hi,

I met a problem when trying to put multiple plots on the same page. I have a
plotting function (e.g., myfunction()) that contains the lines of par(),
layout(). Now I want to try four types of parameter combinations and  put
these four figures on the same page. I tried par(mfrow or mfcol) and layout
but no go. It seems split.screen is the right choice for me. But I always
got the error message "Error in plot.new() : figure margins too
large".  I
don't really want to change the margin settings in myfunction() since it
involves lots of modifications.  Are there any easier ways to split window
and also automatically adjust the margins (and other plotting settings)?
Thanks a lot.

You need to provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible
code.  The following code works fine for me:
> par(mfrow=c(2,2))
> plot(0)
> plot(1)
> plot(2)
> plot(3)
>
But I have no idea of how you are trying to use it, what operating
system you have, what type of device you are going out to, what your
margins are, etc.
