[R] splot.screen: multiple plots

[BXC (Bendix Carstensen)]

You probably want to use something like

par( mar=c(0,0,0,0), oma=c(3,3,2,3) )

which will put all your plots next to each other with no space between
them
and with a reasonable margin outside ("oma").

Take a print of the (rather long) help page for "par", and bring it with
you 
wherever you go, so youcan study it in waiting lines, traffic jams,
trains etc.
It's boring to learn but useful to know all those weird arguments...
