Hi Sergio,
In order to get this configuration you will have to do multiple splits. Try
this to see how you get what you want, and notice that screens 2 and 4 are
now unusable as they have been split to make more screens.
split.screen(figs=matrix(c(0,1,0.91,1,0,1,0,0.91),nrow=2,byrow=TRUE))
split.screen(figs=matrix(c(0,0.09,0,1,0.09,0.91,0,1,0.91,1,0,1),nrow=3,
byrow=TRUE),screen=2)
split.screen(figs=matrix(c(0,1,0.8,1,0,1,0.6,0.8,0,1,0.4,0.6,0,1,0,0.4),
nrow=4,byrow=TRUE),screen=4)
screen(1)
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(1:2,type="n",axes=FALSE)
box()
text(1.5,1.5,1)
screen(3)
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(1:2,type="n",axes=FALSE)
box()
text(1.5,1.5,3)
screen(5)
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(1:2,type="n",axes=FALSE)
box()
text(1.5,1.5,5)
screen(6)
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(1:2,type="n",axes=FALSE)
box()
text(1.5,1.5,6)
screen(7)
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(1:2,type="n",axes=FALSE)
box()
text(1.5,1.5,7)
screen(8)
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(1:2,type="n",axes=FALSE)
box()
text(1.5,1.5,8)
screen(9)
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(1:2,type="n",axes=FALSE)
box()
text(1.5,1.5,9)
