Dear friends of lattice, I know how to position trellis plots with print(...,split,more=T) or (...position). Sometimes I wish I had something like the old "par(mfcol=2, mfrow=3)" mechanism, where the next free viewport is automatically chosen. I tried fiddling with grid-viewports, but could not find an easy solution. Did I miss something?
This is definitely not doable right now (since print.trellis by default plots on a new page), but it can be implemented if there's interest. The easiest solution would involve changing print.trellis to get the default 'split' from some sort of user defined setting. Most of the mechanism required for this is already in place. A grid level implementation of par(mfrow) may help, but I don't think that's in keeping with grid's design goals.
Right. Everything in grid happens in the current "viewport" and a viewport does not have to (and often does not) correspond to a plot. There is no obvious "next viewport" for grid to go to (in general). Paul
