[R-sig-Debian] fluxbox, ess and redrawing r windows

[Johannes Ranke]

Hi,

what about setting

R> par(mfcol=c(2,2))

This will give one device with a 2 by 2 layout. See ?par, which also
points you to layout(), which I personally don't use yet.

And by the way, you could also use vim with R ;-)

Just my 2c,

Hannes
