Hi Pai, there are at least two solutions two your problem. The first solution makes use of R's base graphics instead of using the lattice-based spplot function: library("sp") library("RColorBrewers") library("classInt") # example more or less copied from the Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R book # load the meuse dataset data(meuse) # use the xy-columns to transform the data.frame into a # SpatialPointsDataFrame (SPDF) coordinates(meuse) <-~ x + y # specify color palette we are going to use pal <- RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(5, name = "Blues") # find fisher class intervals using the fisher-algorithm q5 <- classIntervals(meuse$zinc, n = 5, style = "fisher") # find the colors for each point q5_col <- findColours(q5, pal) # set up a plot window with one row and two columns (2 panels) par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) # plot the SPDF into the first panel plot(meuse, pch = 16, col = q5_col) # add a legend legend("topleft", fill = attr(q5Colours, "palette"), legend = names(attr(q5Colours, "table")), bty = "n", cex = 0.5) # plot a histogram into the second panel hist(meuse at data$copper, main = "Histogram", xlab = "zinc") The second solution uses the packages lattice, grid and sp. # using sp, lattice and grid library("grid") library("lattice") grid.newpage() # set up a plot window with one row and two columns (2 panels) pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(1, 2))) vp1 <- viewport(x = 0, y = 0, height = 1, width = 0.5, just = c("left", "bottom"), name = "left", layout = grid.layout(nrow = 1, ncol = 2)) pushViewport(vp1) # plot the SPDF into the first panel p <- spplot(meuse, "zinc") print(p, newpage = FALSE) upViewport(1) vp2 <- viewport(x = 1, y = 0, height = 1, width = 0.5, just = c("right", "bottom"), name = "right") pushViewport(vp2) # plot a lattice histogram into the second panel print(histogram(meuse at data$copper, main = ""), newpage = FALSE) upViewport(1) For more information on the grid package and how to use it with spplot, you might want to read the package documentation and this blog http://teachpress.environmentalinformatics-marburg.de/2013/06/plotting-multiple-plots-on-one-page-with-the-grid-package-3/ Hope this helps, Jannes Dec 14, 2015; 8:20pm Debasish Pai Mazumder <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=381655> Debasish Pai Mazumder <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=381655> paneling spplot and hist Hi all, I am new in R. I am trying to panel spplot and hist. spplot(hspdf, "CDP", col = "white", col.regions = blue2red(20), sp.layout list(l2), at = seq(1,10,1), colorkey = list(space = "bottom", labels list(labels = paste(seq(1,10,1)), cex = 1.5)), sub = list("CDP", cex = 1.5, font = 2)) hist(cdp.obsc, col="grey", border="grey", main="CDP", probability=T) lines(c.breaks, obs.cdp.d, col="blue") lines(c.breaks, obs.cdp.e, col="red") I have tried with par(mfrow=c(2,1))and layout(matrix...., both don't work. Any advice? with regards -Pai [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ [hidden email] <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=4715547&i=0> mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
