expandGraph function

Expand the Plot Area by Adjusting Margins

Optimize the plotting region(s) by minimizing margins.

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)
})
