multipanelfigure: Simple Assembly of Multiple Plots and Images into a Compound Figure

Abstract

In scholarly publications, multiple graphical elements such as plots or raster images are traditionally combined into a single compound figure using panels arranged in a grid. Package multipanelfigure is a GPL-3 licensed R package that eases assembly of such compound figures, allowing for straightforward integration of R specific plots using base graphics, lattice and ggplot2 plots, as well as grid grobs in general. Also provided are facilities to incorporate R external graphical output stored as SVG, PNG, JPEG, or TIFF formatted files.
