[R] [FORGED] Re: par(mfrow) for heatmap plots

[Paul Murrell]

Hi

If you are really wedded to heatmap(), you could also use 
'gridGraphics', something like this ...

library(gridGraphics)
grid.newpage()
pushViewport(viewport(0, .5, .5, .5, just=c("left", "bottom")))
grid.echo(function() { heatmap(test) }, newpage=FALSE)
popViewport()
pushViewport(viewport(.5, 0, .5, .5, just=c("left", "bottom")))
grid.echo(function() { heatmap(test) }, newpage=FALSE)
popViewport()
