[R] About multiple panels with limited space in-between

[lily li]

I use the code below to plot, but have some difficulties.

par(mfrow=c(2,5))
par(mar=c(2,1,1,0), oma=c(4,4,.5,.5))
plot(DF1$var1,DF1$A)
plot(DF1$var2,DF1$A, ylab=F); plot(DF1$var3,DF1$A,ylab=F);
plot(DF1$var4,DF1$A, ylab=F); plot(DF1$var5,DF1$A,ylab=F)
plot(DF2$var1,DF2$A)
plot(DF2$var2,DF2$A, ylab=F); plot(DF2$var3,DF2$A, ylab=F);
plot(DF2$var4,DF2$A, ylab=F); plot(DF2$var5,DF2$A, ylab=F)

Changing "ylab=F" to "labels=F" got the error message: "labels" is not a
graphical prameter.
For each row, I would like to use the leftmost y-axis, so the other figures
do not need to have y-axis. Then how to just have x-labels for the bottom
row, but have ticks and numbers in the x-labels for the top row? Also, I
forgot to attach the figure and here it is. This is more complicated, but I
just need two rows, and there are spaces between the two rows. Thanks first.
