[R] Changing layout in grid.arrange

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Roy,
If this helps, you can get the layout like this:

split.screen(figs=matrix(c(rep(0,5),rep(0.5,10),rep(1,5),
 rep(seq(0.8,0,by=-0.2),2),rep(seq(1,0.2,by=-0.2),2)),ncol=4))
for(scr in 1:10) {
 screen(scr)
 par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
 plot(0.5,0.5,xlim=c(0,1),ylim=c(0,1),
  axes=FALSE,xlab="",ylab="",type="n")
 box()
 text(0.5,0.5,scr)
}
close.screen(all=TRUE)

Jim

What I would like instead is for the layout to have 2 columns and 5 rows, with graphs 1-5 going down the first column, graphs 6-10 going down the second column but almost everything I have tried has failed.  Any help appreciated.
