stacked plots

Dear helpeRs,

Is there a better method of producing stacked charts than
par(mfrow(3,1)), plot(x), plot(y), plot(z)? What I would like to do is
produce a chart of several panes stacked vertically with no space
between them so they appeared to be a single figure. I've attached a
small example, though it is not clear that it will make it, as the
posting guide doesn't say which sort of images are allowed--it is a
gif. My data will be in zoo objects like those from get.hist.quote()
with the data for the extra panes in additional columns.

Thanks in advance,

If this is time series data try

library(zoo)
example(plot.zoo)
example(xyplot.zoo)

to see if any of those fit your requirements.

Do you remember the bollingerBands example we worked on a few years ago and
that is still at Romain's incredible R Graph Gallery at
      http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=65

It uses layout, you can also use the simpler par(mfrow=...) approach *if* you
also reduce bottom and top spacing accordingly as e.g. in the plot functions
in the script referenced above.

Cheers, Dirk

I do indeed remember that, it was a nice piece of work that I learned
a lot from. At the time you mentioned there were some newer methods in
the works that might serve better, which prompted my question after an
appropriate delay. ;-)
