[R] multiple plots and postscript()

[Chong Gu]

You may try something like this:

postscript(file="fig.ps",height=4,width=4)
layout(matrix(c(0,1,2,0,3,4),2,3,byrow=TRUE),c(0,1,1),c(1,1))
par(mar=c(5,5,2,2)+.1,mex=.6)

The default spacings are different for 2x3 and 2x2.  The layout
facility allows one to cheat it out.

Good luck.
