similar to: How to put multiple plots in the same window? (not par(mfrow=))

Dear R people, I am using par(mfrow=c()) to plot multi-figures in the same window. And I like to put a common title (and xlab, ylab) for all of plots. I have already left some margin by resetting omi values in par() and hided all (xlab, ylab) for each sub-plot. Could anyone tell me how to do that? Thanks a lot, Frank

Dear list, I am using Sweave to build a small report. I want to produce a series of figures, each figure containing a number of plots and then have them included in the Sweave file. An example would be to : postscript(file = "ANCbwplot%03d.eps", onefile = FALSE, other options...) oldpar <- par(mfrow = c(2,2)) .... do lots of plots to produce a number of eps files .... par(oldpar)

HI, I would like to know if it's possible to create a postscript file with multiple graphs . I'm creating some graphs by the means of a loop and I want to save each graph in the same file (splitting making the device by the number of graphs). Do I have to use the par(matrix()) option, the layout() function or the split.screen() one ? Thanks Nolwenn

Dear List, Consider the following example: dat <- data.frame(var1 = rnorm(100), var2 = rnorm(100), var3 = rnorm(100), var4 = rnorm(100)) oldpar <- par(mfrow = c(2,2), no.readonly = TRUE) invisible(lapply(dat, function(x) { plot(density(x), main = deparse(substitute(x))) } ) )

dear list, i have a problem using the par function. in one graphic device i want to have two plots so i tried to use par(mfror=c(1,2)). of course it worked out, but the height now is twice the length of the width for each single plot. what i actually wanted is something like par(mfrow=c(2,2)) where only the top (or bottom) two plots are drawn with entire length proportions of 1 to 2 ( height 1,

Sorry to disturb you, but can you help me to solve one little problem? I want to draw a graphic after another with R but I cannot find the first one after that. Do you know the command to hold the graphic with R? I remember with Matlab you may use "hold on". Thanks. -- Baohua Yang Email:yangbaohua@gmail.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

hey guys I want two plots in one window with an overall title and with individual titles for each plots. my code: par(mfrow=c(2,1)) bp_dirverq1=boxplot(dirverq1, col="orange",horizontal=TRUE, main="Q1 2012",cex.main=0.7) bp_dirverq2=boxplot(dirverq2, col="orange",horizontal=TRUE, main="Q2 2012",cex.main=0.7) title("Direktveranlagung in

I just detected R and have, after browsing the manual, one question: I look for quite a lot of time for graphical software which allows to plot data from a table or external file _with the axes of the coordinate system changed_, i.e. the x-axis should run from top left to bottom left, and the y-axis from top-left to top-right. It is of no use to interchange the rows in the table, the

Hi, Say I did something like: par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) plot(1:10) plot(1:10) and I'd like to have an overall title, i.e. a title that would appear, centered, on the top of both plots, rather than the top of the last plot. I tried: title("FOO", outer = T) but it doesn't appear right. Half of the FOO is outside the figure region and can't be seen... Is there another

Lattice graphics may be the answer depending on your exact problem. Here is an example of four traditional plots without space: par(mfrow=c(2,2), omi=c(.5, .5, .5, .5)) par(mar=c(0, 2, 2, 0)) plot(rnorm(10), rnorm(10), axes=FALSE) box(); axis(2); axis(3) par(mar=c(0, 0, 2, 2)) plot(rnorm(10), rnorm(10), axes=FALSE) box(); axis(3); axis(4) par(mar=c(2, 2, 0, 0)) plot(rnorm(10),

Hi, I was trying to use par(mfrow) to put 4 heatmaps on a single page. However, I get one plot per page and not one page with 4 plots. What should I modify? Test code is given below: test = matrix(rnorm(60), 20, 3) pdf(file='test.pdf',width=10,height=8) par(mfrow=c(2,2)) heatmap(test) heatmap(test) heatmap(test) heatmap(test) dev.off() thanks!

Dear All, I have the following function tstpar <- function(n = 200, want.pdf = FALSE, pdfFileName = NULL){ oldpar <- par(no.readonly = TRUE) on.exit(par(oldpar)) steps <- seq(from = 1, to = 8, by = 1) h <- 10; w <- 6 if(want.pdf){pdf(file = pdfFileName, onefile = TRUE, paper = "letter", width = w, height = h)} par(mfrow = c(4,2)) for(i

Dear R-users, I often stack plots that have the same x-axis. To save space and have the plots themselves as large as possible I like to minimize the margins between the plots to zero. I use the "mfrow" and "mar" parameters to achieve this. However, the different margin settings for the individual plots lead to the inner plots being higher than the two outer plots. To make the

I'm making some plots on the same page and would like to include an overall title instead of individual main titles as they are similar and their x and y axis labels are sufficient to distinguish them. Is there a way to assign an overall "main" to this page of plots? Mark -- Mark W. Kimpel MD ** Neuroinformatics ** Dept. of Psychiatry Indiana University School of Medicine 15032

Thanks to those who pointed me at the solutions to the legend overprinting the bars. I took the "easy" way of rescaling the y axis, picking the scaling factor for stacked bars is somewhat problematic but sufficient for my application. I have another couple of barplot questions: - Can I extend the major ticks on the Y axis across the page? Or both axes to form a grid? - A really

I'd like to generate on a single device multiple plots, each of which contains two plots. Essentially, I've got sub-plots which consist of two tracks, the upper one displaying gene expression data, and the lower one mapping position. I'd like to display four of these two-track sub-plots on one device, but I can't seem to invoke the par(mfrow=...) or layout(matrix(...)) functions at

Dear friends of lattice, I know how to position trellis plots with print(...,split,more=T) or (...position). Sometimes I wish I had something like the old "par(mfcol=2, mfrow=3)" mechanism, where the next free viewport is automatically chosen. I tried fiddling with grid-viewports, but could not find an easy solution. Did I miss something? Dieter Menne

Hi I'm having difficulty with a multiple plot. What I want is 12 plots, all of which are the same size and shape, differing only in colour. Each one is a square, so there is an asp=1 in the plot call. I'm working in an Sweave environment so I am free to choose the height and width of the plot. I want the columns to be labelled at the head (here t=1,2,3) and the rows to be labelled at

I have had good sucess with the par(mfrow=c(#,#)) for formating graphs and they look good to me. I have seen a lot of use of the lattice package and thought I would go fishing on the list for y'all's comments. Is there a time when lattice would be easier more appropriate for certain graphics over par(mfrow(#,#)). Just wondering Stephen -- Let's not spend our time and resources

Dear all, I'm trying to produce two dotcharts side-by-side within a Sweave document. When I'm compiling this example: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<fig=T,width=8,height=4>>= par(mfrow = c(1, 2), cex = 0.7) for(i in 1:2) dotchart(1:10) @ <<fig=T,width=8,height=4>>= par(mfrow = c(1, 2), cex = 0.7) for(i in 1:2) hist(1:10) @
