If you look at layout's help page there appears to be a worked example
of an even more complex task. The answer appears to be assingning
numbers to regions and then inserting par(mar= with an appropriately
constructed destination arguments prior to each added piece.

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")?
