R help - Oct 2010 - graphics layout

Folks,

I'm battling the layout() functionality in graphics, and getting a bit mixed
up. I'd like to create subscreens like so:

 _________ _________
|         |         |
|    1    |    2    |
|_________|________ |
|         |         |
|    3    |    4    |
|_________|_________|
|         |____6____|
|    5    |____7____|
|_________|____8____|


Note that subscreens 1:5 are the same size, and 6,7,8 are the same width as,
say, 1, but of one-third the height.

How to achieve this? 

Thanks,

Murali

Hi Murali
try

nf <- layout(matrix(c(1:5,6,5,7,5,8), ncol=2, byrow=TRUE),
heights=c(1,1,rep(1/3,3)),respect=TRUE)
layout.show(nf)

hth.
