Dear R users,

I create a graphic with two plots side by side using layout(), like this:

layout(matrix(c(1,2),1))
plot(1:10,main="left plot")
lines(c(3:7,7:3),col="red")
plot(10:1,main="right plot")

The lines() obivously get added to the "left plot" plot.

Now, I'm trying to write a function that builds up a plot bit by bit to
then include it in a LaTeX presentation with overlays. I'm using
dev.copy(), and it would make my life much easier (because in fact I
call all sorts of additional axis() etc after plot) if I could call
the above commands in this order:

layout(matrix(c(1,2),1))
plot(1:10,main="left plot")
plot(10:1,main="right plot")
lines(c(3:7,7:3),col="red")

but of course now lines() gets added to the "right plot". I

Is there any way to make the lines() go to the fist plot ("left plot")?

Marianne
