[R] graphics layout

[Murali.Menon at avivainvestors.com]

Hiya,

Thanks for this. It's the height parameters that baffle me. Why are they 1, 1, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3?
Which subscreens do these heights correspond to?

I did it like this: 

nf <- layout(cbind(c(1,1,1,3,3,3,5,5,5),c(2,2,2,4,4,4,6,7,8)))

mainly because I'm not clear about how the heights work.

Thanks,
Murali

Hi Murali
try

nf <- layout(matrix(c(1:5,6,5,7,5,8), ncol=2, byrow=TRUE),
heights=c(1,1,rep(1/3,3)),respect=TRUE)
layout.show(nf)

hth.
