Hi Jason,

I have some code that I think will help you.  I cannot post it here because I
keep receiving errors that I have lines of code greater than 80 lines long.  For
that reason, you can find the code here:

It's a bit of a hokey example, but perhaps you'll get the idea. You're probably
interested in the parts including and below the line
"par(new=TRUE,mar=c(0,0,0,0),srt=0)"
