Thanks, but that still does keeps it on different pages and generates warnings :

Warning messages:
1: In plot.window(...) : "add" is not a graphical parameter
2: In plot.xy(xy, type, ...) : "add" is not a graphical parameter
3: In axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) :
  "add" is not a graphical parameter
4: In axis(side = side, at = at, labels = labels, ...) :
  "add" is not a graphical parameter
5: In box(...) : "add" is not a graphical parameter
6: In title(...) : "add" is not a graphical parameter

Cheers!
