Need to read a bit further down below the 'mfrow' and 'mfcol' arguments in par,
specifically until you get to 'mfg':
library(Hmisc)
par(mfrow=c(3,1) )
plot(1:10, 1:10, main = "Plot 1")
subplot(plot(10,10, xlab="", ylab=""), x=2, y=8, size = c(0.5, 0.5) )
par(mfg=c(2,1) ); plot(11:20, 11:20, main = "Plot 2")
subplot(plot(10,10, xlab="", ylab=""), x=12, y=18, size = c(0.5, 0.5)
)
par(mfg=c(3,1)); plot(21:30, 21:30, main = "Plot 3")
subplot(plot(10,10, xlab="", ylab=""), x=22, y=28, size = c(0.5, 0.5)
)
I suspect that the subplot manipulations of par settings are the cause of the
problem. It is restoring the mfg pointer.
