For example: par(mfrow=c(2,3)) #set up 2 rows x 3 columns plot(1:10, main="Plot 1") plot(1:20, main="Plot 2") plot(1:30, main="Plot 3") par(mfg=c(2,2)) # start next plot at 2,2 instead of 2,1 plot(1:40, main="Plot 4") # What if 5th plot is to start on next page? # Why do plots 5 and 6 overlay plots 1 and 2 instead # of being on a new page? par(mfg=c(1,1)) plot(1:50, main="Plot 5") plot(1:60, main="Plot 6") If "par(mfg=c(1,1))" is left out, Plot 6 is on the next figure. The "new=T" parameters seems like a possible solution, but gives this warning and is ignored: Warning messages: 1: parameter "new" couldn't be set in high-level plot() function par(mfrow=c(2,3)) #set up 2 rows x 3 columns plot(1:10, main="Plot 1", new=T) plot(1:20, main="Plot 2") plot(1:30, main="Plot 3") par(mfg=c(2,2)) # start next plot at 2,2 instead of 2,1 plot(1:40, main="Plot 4") # What if 5th plot is to start on next page? # Why do plots 5 and 6 overlay plots 1 and 2 instead # of being on a new page? par(mfg=c(1,1)) plot(1:50, main="Plot 5", new=T) plot(1:60, main="Plot 6") How do I create a series of plots in one figure and control when a new figure is created? (without using dummy blank placeholder plots) The example above is only for discussion. I really want to do this in a loop and create 5 plots per figure, and repeat this for many pages in a PDF file. Thanks for any insight on this. efg -- Earl F.
