Details

This function eases the creation of plots that include multiple panels that shares information such as axis labels. Instead of repeating or deleting axis labels, plotOnSide add plot areas on the specified sides of the original figures. It is based on graphics::layout() and it is no more than a tuned version of it.

Examples

plotOnSide(matrix(1,2), width=c(0.2,1), height=c(1,1,1,0.6))
graphics::layout.show(5)
