Exporting multiple panels of plots and data to *.png (in the style layout() works within R)
plot, r
Solution
If you move your calls to `par` or `layout` after you open your graphics device, it should work correctly.
png(file='plot2.png')
par(mfrow= c(3, 1))
curve(dnorm, -3, 4)
textplot(testMat)
textplot(testMatDF)
dev.off()
Problem
I'm trying to export multiple panels of data and 1 plot as a single image using either the .png device or .pdf device and I'm not meeting with any success. I can produce the image that I want within R using the R native plotting device, but when I try to produce the same image directly, I get results that I do not anticipate. Here is my example code ``` testMat <- matrix(1:20, ncol = 5)## create data testMatDF <- as.data.frame(testMat) names(testMatDF) <- c("Hey there", "Column 2", "Some * Symbols", "And ^ More", "Final Column") rownames(testMatDF) <- paste("Group", 1:4) library(gplots) ## gplots needed for textplot() layout(matrix(c(1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3), 2, 3, byrow = TRUE)) curve(dnorm, -3, 4) textplot(testMat) textplot(testMatDF) ## produces what I want within R layout(matrix(c(1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3), 2, 3, byrow = TRUE)) png(file='plot1.png') curve(dnorm, -3, 4) textplot(testMat) textplot(testMatDF) dev.off() ## only the last function texplot(testMatDF) gets output, not what I anticipated ``` I've also tried the `mfrow()` graphical parameter without success. ``` par(mfrow= c(3, 1)) png(file='plot2.png') curve(dnorm, -3, 4) textplot(testMat) textplot(testMatDF) dev.off() ## only the last function texplot(testMatDF) gets output ```
