Yes, that works nicely. Thank you very much.
I tried this wrapped with a pdf/dev.off and it works great:
pdf("test.pdf")
<plot statements here>
dev.off()
I guess I should always use layout and avoid using mfrow or mfcol, since
it's more flexible in general.
I can't decide if the existing behavio(u)r of mfrow/mfcol is a "bug" or a
"feature" when some plots are to be left blank, and one wants to advance to
the next figure. With your solution, I won't need to care <g>. Thanks.
