R help - May 2008 - single plot statement, multiple plots

Hi R,

 

par(mfrow=c(2,2))

x1=(1:5)^1; x2=(1:5)^2; x3=(1:5)^3; x4=(1:5)^4

 

I need to write a single plot statement, which creates 4 plots (for x1,
x2, x3 and x4) in the graphics window, without using 'for' loop. Is this
possible? Does 'do.call' help in this context? Or do I have any option
in the 'plot' statement itself to do this?

 

Thanks in advance,

Shubha

Try plot.zoo in which case you don't need the par:

library(zoo)
plot(zoo(cbind(x1, x2, x3, x4)), nc = 2)

or

plot(zoo(outer(1:5, 1:4, "^")), nc = 2)

See ?plot.zoo, ?xyplot.zoo and the three vignettes in
the zoo package.
