[R] Multiple figures margin problem

[Greg Snow]

I still have not received a copy of the esp package, so I don't know what exactly you tried, or what the results are.

The following works for me and seems to fit your description, but without code and details of the results and how they differ from what you expect, we can only guess.

x1 <- runif(100, 1, 25)
x2 <- runif(100, 1, 25)
y1 <- rnorm(100, x1)
y2 <- rnorm(100, x2)
y3 <- rnorm(100, x1+x2)


par(mfcol=c(3,2), mar=c(0,0,0,0), oma=c(5,4,1,1)+0.1, xpd=NA)

plot(x1,y1, xaxt='n')
plot(x1,y2, xaxt='n')
plot(x1,y3)
plot(x2,y1, xaxt='n', yaxt='n')
plot(x2,y2, xaxt='n', yaxt='n')
plot(x2,y3, yaxt='n')



you may also want to look at the pairs function or the pairs2 function (TeachingDemos package) for examples of axes in the margins.  In fact you can get similar to the above by 

pairs2( cbind(x1,x2), cbind(y1,y2,y3), gap=0 )
