Hi,

car uses base graphics for this plot, so you can probably get what you
want with the layout() function. These aren't grid graphics so print()
is not at all helpful to you here.

e.g.,

x <- rnorm(50)
y <- rcauchy(50)

dev.new()
layout(matrix(1:2, nrow = 1))
qqPlot(x)
qqPlot(y)

dev.new()
layout(matrix(1:2, ncol = 1))
qqPlot(x)
qqPlot(y)

Take a look at ? layout

Hope this helps,
Michael
