R help - Mar 2011 - multiple plots with QQplot of PerformanceAnalytics

Hi All,

I am trying to plot 4 graphs on to 1 page using layout(...), or par(mfcol = 
c(...)); with the function QQplot from the package PerformanceAnalytics.
The problem is that, no matter what order I use, it only plots 3 graphs on to 1 
page and the last QQplot is shunted to the next page.
Also, this only happens to the QQplot, i.e. there is no problem with 4 
Histograms. 


set.seed(1033)
data <- matrix(rnorm(240), 240, 2)
data[,2] <- rt(240, df = 7)

tm <- ts(data, start = c(1990, 1), frequency = 12)
ret.ts <- as.timeSeries(tm)

layout(rbind(c(1, 2), c(3, 4)))
#par(mfcol = c(2, 2))
chart.Histogram(ret.ts[, 1], main = "Density", breaks = 30, methods = 
"add.density")
chart.Histogram(ret.ts[, 2], main = "Density", breaks = 30, methods = 
"add.density")
chart.QQPlot(ret.ts[, 1])
chart.QQPlot(ret.ts[, 2])

Any suggestion please. Many thx.

Rgds.,

Will
