Henrique, Although your solution is perfect, I had later a problem with setting the background. Perhaps you know how to get this as well:
set.seed(24032008) plot(rnorm(10),type="l",col="red") grid() front=c(0.5, .97, 0.5, .97) par(fig=front, new=T)#, bg="skyblue" does not work rec=c(par("usr")[1]+(par("usr")[2]-par("usr")[1])*front[1], par("usr")[3]+(par("usr")[4]-par("usr")[3])*front[3], par("usr")[1]+(par("usr")[2]-par("usr")[1])*front[3], par("usr")[1]+(par("usr")[2]-par("usr")[1])*front[4]) #rect(rec[1],rec[2],rec[3],rec[4],col="yellow") plot(rnorm(4),type="l",col="blue",xlab="",ylab="") as you can see it would be good to be able to set the background of the subfigure. as the par(bg=) does not work, I tried to plot a rectangle. Just uncomment the send-last line and you will see that the original plot disappears after some strange rectangle is drawn. If you have any idea again, it would be evry much appreaciated to let me know.
