Hi Bert,
Sorry, I am using base graphics.  Please assume that the plots in columns
share a common x-variable, the same is true for rows and y-variables.

I think what I need is a way to add column and row titles to a plot matrix
created with par(mfrow()), or how to extend the plot so that the axes
labels and main show.

par(mfrow=c(2, 2), mgp=c(2, 1, 0), omi=c(1, 1, 1, 1))

par(mar=c(1, 2, 2, 1)+0.1)
plot(c(1:100), c(1:100), xaxt="n", ylab="Y-label 1", main="A")

par(mar=c(1, 1, 2, 1)+0.1)
plot(c(1:100), c(1:100), xaxt="n", yaxt="n", main="B")

par(mar=c(2, 2, 1, 1)+0.1)
plot(c(1:100), c(1:100), xlab="X-label 1", ylab="Y-label 2")

par(mar=c(2, 1, 1, 1)+0.1)
plot(c(1:100), c(1:100), yaxt="n", xlab="X-label 2")



Any ideas?
I will look into layout, thank you.
-Chuck
