R help - Mar 2008 - How to navigate in layout() created graph?

Hi

I created a complex layout with using layout() and it looks exactly as
I need it. But I don't want to print in the order in which the
subfigure are numbered, but in a different order.

How can I navigate in the layout so that I can specify the subfigure
in which to plot?

At the moment I am using a function which is converting the number to
mfg parameter for par, but it does not seem to work as expected.

Thanks,

Rainer

Look at documentation of ?layout. The "mat" argument determines the  
order in which the figures appear. The example code that talks about  
scatterplot with marginal histograms should show you how that works.

In other words, to the best of my knowledge, you specify in the call  
to layout in which order the new figures you create will be filling  
the layout.
