expandGraph {PBSmodelling}

Expand the Plot Area by Adjusting Margins

Description

Optimize the plotting region(s) by minimizing margins.

Usage

expandGraph(mar=c(4,3,1.2,0.5), mgp=c(1.6,.5,0),...)

Arguments

mar

numerical vector of the form 'c(bottom, left, top, right)' specifying the margins of the plot

mgp

numerical vector of the form 'c(axis title, axis labels, axis line)' specifying the margins for axis title, axis labels, and axis line

...

additional graphical parameters to be passed to par

Examples

local(envir=.PBSmodEnv,expr={
  oldpar = par(no.readonly=TRUE)
  expandGraph(mfrow=c(2,1));
  tt=seq(from=-10, to=10, by=0.05);

  plot(tt,sin(tt), xlab="this is the x label",  ylab="this is the y label", 
    main="main title", sub="sometimes there is a \"sub\" title")
  plot(cos(tt),sin(tt*2), xlab="cos(t)", ylab="sin(2 t)", main="main title", 
    sub="sometimes there is a \"sub\" title")
  par(oldpar)
})
