Plotting in Grids

This is post #12 in a running series about plotting in R.

I regularly find myself wanting to show arrays or grids of plots in R. This is straightforward using par and mfrow as long as you want a symmetric, evenly spaced grid of plots. Unfortunately, this often is not what I [...]

Visualizing and Comparing Distributions — Part 8 of a Series

This is post #08 in a running series about plotting in R.

Last time, I talked about visualizing the Uniform, Normal, Exponential, and Poisson Distributions. However, there are more useful methods than just plotting the density and distribution functions.
Of course, you can always simply ask R to output summary statistics:

> n [...]

Multiple Plots and Visualizing Distributions – Part 7 in a Series

This is post #07 in a running series about plotting in R.

I was helping a friend plot some interesting distributions this weekend, so I decided to use distributions to demonstrate one of the neater bits of R’s basic plotting tools: the ability to easily combine plots into a single plot.
par will allow you [...]
