| n2mfrow | R Documentation |
Easy setup for plotting multiple figures (in a rectangular layout) on
one page. This computes a sensible default for
par(mfrow).
n2mfrow(nr.plots, asp = 1)
nr.plots |
integer; the number of plot figures you'll want to draw. |
asp |
positive number; the target aspect ratio (columns / rows) in
the output. Was implicitly hardwired to |
A length-two integer vector (nr, nc) giving the positive number of rows
and columns, fulfilling nr * nc >= nr.plots, and currently, for
asp = 1, nr >= nc >= 1.
Conceptually, this is a quadratic integer optimization problem, with
inequality constraints nr >= 1, nc >= 1, and
nr.plots >= nr*nc (and possibly nr >= asp*nc),
and two objective functions which would have to be combined via a
tuning weight, say w, to, e.g.,
(nr.plots - nr*nc) + w |nr/nc - asp|.
The current algorithm is simple and not trying to solve one of these optimization problems.
