Hi, You may want to read about ?viewport in the grid package. They allow you to position graphical elements wherever you want on a page, such as lattice plots and text (grid.text). For a high-level interface, you could try the following,
library(gridExtra) library(lattice) p1 = xyplot(1~1) p2 = levelplot(volcano) p3 = tableGrob(head(mpg[, 1:3])) p4 = textGrob("some text") grid.arrange(p1, p2, p3, p4, main="global page title", sub=p4, left="page y-label") HTH, baptiste On 10 April 2011 13:33, Dennis Fisher <fis...@plessthan.com> wrote: > Colleagues > > I am learning lattice graphics (R 2.12.2; OS X).
