[R] small plot inside a big plot

[Remko Duursma]

Dear R-helpers,

i want to draw a small plot (histogram) within a larger plot (simple scatterplot), so that the axes of the bigger plot remain intact.

I know how to use layout() and par(mfrow...) and such, but I want the smaller graph to be *inside* the bigger plot. Is this possible?

thanks,

Remko
