How to plot grid plots on a same page?

Question

I am using a package (treemap) that uses grid package to produce a treemap. However, I would like to plot several of these treemaps together, to ad

Answer 1

Here's an approach that is very flexible for any grid graphics:

vplayout <- function(x, y) viewport(layout.pos.row = x, layout.pos.col = y)
grid.newpage()
pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(1, 2)))
print(a, vp = vplayout(1,1))
print(b, vp = vplayout(1,2))

Where a and b are your saved plot objects. So test each plot individually ahead of time, save them as a, b, ... then plot them as above.

Oh, and if tmPlot always does grid.newpage then check to see if it has a has new.page argument which you can set to FALSE, or make a copy of the function and comment out the newpage.
