Conditional plot labels
Hi, Have you considered using high-level plotting functions provided by the ggplot2 or lattice package? Here's a dummy example,
x <- seq(0, 10, length=100) y1 <- sin(x) y2 <- cos(x) y3 <- x^2/100 y4 <- 1/x d <- data.frame(x, y1, y2, y3, y4) library(reshape) dm <- melt(d, id="x") dm$type1 <- rep(LETTERS[1:2], each=2*length(x)) # dummy factors dm$type2 <- rep(letters[1:2], each=length(x)) library(ggplot2) p1 <- qplot(x, value, data=dm, geom="line", facets=type1~type2) p1 # you can customise the appearance if the default doesn't please you library(lattice) p2 <- xyplot(value~x|type1*type2, data=dm, t="l") # here the strips are on top of each other by default library(latticeExtra) useOuterStrips(p2) # this makes the layout more like you want
Alternatively, you can also use raw Grid commands and define your own layout where to place the different graphical objects, but it's more work. Hope this helps, baptiste

Hi all,
I'm trying to do multiple graphs in a window like this:
___ ___ ___
ylab |__| |__| |__|
___ ___ ___
ylab |__| |__| |__|
___ ___ ___
ylab |__| |__| |__|
xl xl xl
If I try to put the labels manually, some graphs become smaller than
other and the output is really ugly.
In the thread title I put the word "conditional" because I'm trying to
do a function, and in that function I want to print ylabels if the
plot positions is at first column of the graph matrix, and xlab if the
position is at last row of matrix.
How can i achive this two things?
Thanks for your help
