\title{
Specify a panel of plots
}
\description{
Divides up the graphics window into a matrix of plots.
}
\usage{
set.panel(m=1, n=1, relax=FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{m}{
Number of rows in the panel of plots
}
\item{n}{
Number of columns in the panel.
}
\item{relax}{
If true and the par command is already set for multiple plots,
then the set.panel command is ignored. The default is
relax set to false.
}
}
\details{
After set.panel is called, the graphics screen is reset to
put plots according to a m x n table. Plotting starts in
the upper left hand corner and proceeds row by row. After
m x n plots have been drawn, the next plot will erase the
window and start in the 1,1 position again. This function
is just a repackaging for specifying the mfrow argument to
par.
Setting up a panel of plots is a quick way to change the
aspect ratio of the graph (ratio of height to width) or
the size. For example, plotting 2 plots to a page produces
a useful size graph for including in a report. You can
print out the graphs at any stage without having to fill
up the entire window with plots. This function, except for the "relax"
option is equivalent to the S sequence: par( mfrow=c(m,n)).
}
\section{Side Effects}{
The function will echo your choice of m and n to the terminal.
