Create custom layout.

Create custom layout.

lay_new(mat, widths = NULL, heights = NULL)

layCreate(mat, widths = NULL, heights = NULL)

Arguments

mat

a matrix specifying the location of the figures. See layout for more information.

widths

a vector of values for the relative heights of rows in mat.

heights

a vector of values for the relative heights of rows in mat.

Value

CustomLayout object.

Details

This function creates a new CustomLayout object which contains the information about all the fields and their relative sizes.

By combining multiple CustomLayout objects you can create more complicated layouts for your plots.

This object is an alternative to layout function.

Examples

library(customLayout)
set.seed(123)
oldpar <- par(mar = c(3, 2, 2, 1))

# Prepare layout
lay  <- lay_new(matrix(1:4, nc = 2),
                widths = c(3, 2),
                heights = c(2, 1))
lay2 <- lay_new(matrix(1:3))
cl <- lay_bind_col(lay, lay2, widths = c(3, 1))
lay_set(cl) # initialize drawing area

# add plots
plot(1:100 + rnorm(100))
plot(rnorm(100), type = "l")
hist(rnorm(500))
acf(rnorm(100))
pie(c(3, 4, 6), col = 2:4)
pie(c(3, 2, 7), col = 2:4 + 3)
pie(c(5, 4, 2), col = 2:4 + 6)
