[R] par(mfror=c(1,2))

[Greg Snow]

One simple solution is to use the layout function in place of par.

For example:

> layout(rbind(c(0,1,1,0),c(0,2,2,0)))
> hist(rnorm(100))
> hist(rnorm(10000))

Hope this helps,

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, width 2) i want to create a pdf figure and can´t figure out how that might work.
(e.g. the height should be 8 cm, the length 16 cm but each plot should have the proportion 1:1(height:width))

thanks for any help.

stefan
