Dear Prof Brian Ripley,

Many thanks for your help. Before trying to split.screen 
(1x2) I had set the
"mar" parameter in par( ) in order to move each graph of another (2x1)
splitted figure. This setting might have caused the problem. 
Now it works.

Best regards,
Rodrigo.

Dear all,

I would be pleased if anyone could help me.

The Rhelp description for the figs parameter is "a 

two-element vector

describing
the number of rows and colunns in a screen matrix".

So, why does my code (below) produce a 2x1 screen matrix 

instead of

a 1x2 one?

Does it? There is no way we can reproduce it as it is 

incomplete, but

split.screen(figs=c(1,2))
screen(1)
plot(1:2)
screen(2)
plot(10:1)

does produce a 1x2 layout.

Perhaps your error is call plot.new() in a subdivided 

layout: it makes no

sense to select a screen and then move to the next frame.

Thanks in advance,
rodrigo.

plot.new()

split.screen(figs=c(1,2))



screen(1)

plot.new()

plot(v16[vd==0], vdep[vd==0], bg="aliceblue", cex= 0.5,
xlab="Age",ylab="AvWei", main="", ylim=c(x1,xn), cex.lab=1.1)

title(main = "Female", cex.main = 1.1 , font.main = 1, col.main =

"black")

screen(2)

plot.new()

plot(v16[vd==1], vdep[vd==1], bg="aliceblue", cex= 0.5,
xlab="Age",ylab="AvWei", main="", ylim=c(x1,xn), cex.lab=1.1)

title(main = "Male", cex.main = 1.1 , font.main = 1, 

col.main = "black")
