[R] lattice layout multiple pages

[Patrick Giraudoux]

Thanks a lot to Deepayan Sarkar, Prof. Bryan Ripley and R François (the 
latter off list),

To recap after trial (for further users who may want to search the 
r-help list):

grid::grid.prompt(TRUE)
xyplot(pds~time|Idnid,data=croispond3,layout=c(4,4))
(and FALSE to restore).

is exactly what I need... Now I have just to copy one hundred times 
"lattice is based on grid and not on graphics" to keep that in mind (I 
knew it!!!).

Regarding win.metafile(), those two options make it:

win.metafile("Rplot%d.emf")
xyplot(pds~time|Idnid,data=croispond3,layout=c(4,4))
dev.off()

win.metafile("Rplot%02d.emf")
xyplot(pds~time|Idnid,data=croispond3,layout=c(4,4))
dev.off()

The second inserts a number on two digits ("01", "02", "03", etc...) and 
the image are thus sorted from the first to the last in the folder 
including when there are 10 images and more.

Thanks again,

Patrick
