Dear list members,
i am trying to create multiple figures with identical layout (i.e. font sizes
etc.) for a publication created with Latex. To do so (i.e. to get identical
font sizes) I save all plots as a pdf with widths and heights as they would
later appear in the paper (to prevent scaling etc.). My problem now is that I
create several multipanel plots with par(mfrow=c(...)) which sometimes changes
the cex value. Is there any way (other than using layout() etc which would mean
a lot of recoding) to prevent this and have identical point and font sizes and
line widths etc throughout all plots? I tried to increase the cex value so that
after the reduction by mfrow it is again 1 but I am not sure whether this
prevents all resizing and was hoping for an easier way to achive this?
Any ideas?
The par() help page describes the changes that happen when mfrow or
mfcol are set.
You can specify cex when you set mfrow, e.g. instead of
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
use
par(mfrow=c(2,2), cex = 1)
You could put this in a function to save typing (and allow flexibility).
For example,
setmfrow <- function(nr, nc, cex = 1) {
par(mfrow = c(nr, nc), cex = cex)
}
Then use
setmfrow(2,2)
and set both things at once.
