[R] Split plot panel into rows with different columns

[Bert Gunter]

The syntax is correct; the default margins are too large for your device.

For example, using your split screen specs on the RStudioGD

> split.screen(c(3, 1))       # split display into 3 screens
[1] 1 2 3
>
> split.screen(c(1, 2), screen = 2) # split second screen into two columns
[1] 4 5
>
> split.screen(c(1, 2), screen = 3) # split third screen into two columns
[1] 6 7
>
> screen(1)

> plot(1:10)
Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large
> par(mar = c(2,1,1,1))
> plot(1:10)
## plots on screen 1
