[R] plot level, velocity, acceleration with one x axis

We can get around that with three calls to par: op <- par(mfrow=c(3,1), mar=c(0, 4.1, 4.1, 2.1)) plot(DAX.[, 1], log='y', ylab='DAX') par(mar=c(0, 4.1, 0, 2.1)) plot(DAX.[, 2], ylab='vel (%)') par(mar=c(5.1, 4.1, 0, 2.1)) plot(DAX.[, 3], ylab='accel (%)') par(op) However, the three panels are NOT equal in size: roughly 30% vs. 44% vs. 26%. I can get closer using layout, but if I change the aspect ratio, it changes the relationship between the heights of the three panels. That's the problem I'm trying to solve. It's also why it makes sense to me to modify plot.ts to accept a vector for the log argument, with the constraint that length(lot) = either 1 or ncol(x). There may be a way to do it using gglot2 / the tidyverse, but I'm not facile with that, and my web searches have so far failed to produce anything better than modifying plot.ts.R (and then submitting such with compatible changes to plot.ts.Rd), as I suggested earlier. ???
