Creates a grid of subplots

Description

Creates a grid of subplots in the current figure. If arguments nrow and ncol are given a nrow-by-ncol grid of subplots are created. If only argument n is given then a r-by-s grid is created where |r-s| <= 1, i.e. a square or almost a square of subplots is created. If n and nrow is given then a grid with nrow rows and at least n subplots are created. Similar if n and ncol is given. The argument byrow specifies if the order of the subplots should be rowwise (byrow=TRUE) or columnwise.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
subplots(n=1, nrow=NULL, ncol=NULL, byrow=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

Value

Returns the matrix containing the order of plots.

Examples

   subplots(nrow=2, ncol=3)  # 2-by-3 grid of subplots
   subplots(n=6, nrow=2)     # 2-by-3 grid of subplots
   subplots(n=5, ncol=2)     # 3-by-2 grid of subplots
   subplots(1)               # (Reset) to a 1-by-1 grid of subplots
   subplots(2)               # 1-by-2 grid of subplots
   subplots(3)               # 2-by-2 grid of subplots
   l <- subplots(8)          # 3-by-3 grid of subplots
   layout.show(length(l))
