par(mfrow .. how to minimize the interspace

2 messages · Carmen Meier, Brian Ripley

Is there a possibility to minimize the interspace between the graphs or 
better is it possible to overlap the graphs a little bit?

example from ?lm:

ctl <- c(4.17,5.58,5.18,6.11,4.50,4.61,5.17,4.53,5.33,5.14)
trt <- c(4.81,4.17,4.41,3.59,5.87,3.83,6.03,4.89,4.32,4.69)
group <- gl(2,10,20, labels=c("Ctl","Trt"))
weight <- c(ctl, trt)
anova(lm.D9 <- lm(weight ~ group))
summary(lm.D90 <- lm(weight ~ group - 1))# omitting intercept
summary(resid(lm.D9) - resid(lm.D90)) #- residuals almost identical

opar <- par(mfrow = c(2,2), oma = c(0, 0, 1.1, 0))
plot(lm.D9, las = 1)      # Residuals, Fitted, ...
par(opar)

 
With regards Carmen

You want to change the settings of the margins (mar not oma).  Try
mar=c(2.1, 4.1, 2.1, 0) as a starting point.
