Sorry for again asking the same question, but I am still not successfull, also
after using grid-package, as recommended previously:
I want to write a function() which generates a graphical output and can be used
in a loop to produce several results with a layout like in
par(mfrow=c(5,5))
for ( i in 1:10){
plot(1:10)
}
Here is the (experimental) code:
myfunction <- function(){
vp1 <- viewport(x=0.1, y=.7, w=.8, h=.2, just="left", name="vp1")
vp2 <- viewport(x=.1, y=.5, w=.8, h=.2, just="left", name="vp2")
pushViewport(vp1)
grid.rect(gp=gpar(col="grey"))
grid.text("vp1")
grid.xaxis(main=FALSE)
upViewport()
pushViewport(vp2)
grid.rect(gp=gpar(col="grey"))
grid.text("vp2")
grid.xaxis()
}
And the following loop:
par(mfrow=c(5,5))
for (i in 1:10) {
grid.newpage() # when ommitting this line, the following plots will
be plotted as childrens of the afore generated parent
myfunction()
}
In conclusion, every myfunction() result overwrites the output of the previous
output and is not plotted side by side as intended.
What to change?
Thanks a lot, Dirk

Use grid graphics
http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/grid/grid.html
and the gridbase package to incorporate classic
graphics in that.
