[R] plot a list of trellis objects

Tue Feb 18 21:42:10 CET 2014

Well to be in control:

Please read carefully the help to grid.layout

Create a Grid Layout

Description:

     This function returns a Grid layout, which describes a subdivision
     of a rectangular region.

Usage:

     grid.layout(nrow = 1, ncol = 1,
             widths = unit(rep(1, ncol), "null"),
             heights = unit(rep(1, nrow), "null"),
             default.units = "null", respect = FALSE,
             just="centre")

to control your settings more carefully.     

Please read the help to lattice::print

C_05_print.trellis           package:lattice           R Documentation

Plot and Summarize Trellis Objects

Description:

     The 'print' and 'plot' methods produce a graph from a '"trellis"'
     object.  The 'print' method is necessary for automatic plotting.
     'plot' method is essentially an alias, provided for convenience.
     The 'summary' method gives a textual summary of the object.  'dim'
     and 'dimnames' describe the cross-tabulation induced by
     conditioning.  'panel.error' is the default handler used when an
     error occurs while executing the panel function.

Usage:

     ## S3 method for class 'trellis'
     plot(x, position, split,
          more = FALSE, newpage = TRUE,
          packet.panel = packet.panel.default, 
          draw.in = NULL,
          panel.height = lattice.getOption("layout.heights")$panel,
          panel.width = lattice.getOption("layout.widths")$panel,
          save.object = lattice.getOption("save.object"),
          panel.error = lattice.getOption("panel.error"),
          prefix,
          ...)

To be in superior control.

Happy plotting.

Yours sincerely / Med venlig hilsen
