Dear R users,
I'm currently using the Graphics package to display several hundred of
matrix objects, using a layout and the image() function.
It works well except for large matrices (> 1000*1000) or for a large
number of matrices (there is a limitation around 400 if I remember well)
To solve these issues, I move to the Matrix package which is much more
efficient for large sparse matrix, and to the grid package for the plot
(using image from Matrix)
However, the levelplot() is much more slow than the graphics image()
function !!
Basically, with the image() from graphics, I'm able to plot 360 matrices
in 30 sec, against more than 10 minutes with levelplot().
I would appreciate if anyone has some experience on that, and could give
me some advice to efficiently use the grid package !?
Regards
Nicolas
