'layout function'

[Deccantraps]

hello all,
I am trying the layout function as I need to plot ten plots in 5 rows and 2 columns.
I am trying the following command, but something is going wrong that I could not figure out.
Can you please help me with this?

layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10),nrows=5, byrow=TRUE), heights=c(3,3,3,3,4),widths=c(4,3) )
layout.show()
par(mar=c(1,1,1,1),omi=c(0,0,0,0))

#and then the plots follow

X <- LI[,4]

plot(Y~X,pch=1,cex=2,cex.lab=0.5,
xlim=c(0,14), ylim=c(0,14),xaxt='n',
ylab="Species Density",xlab="")

text(7,2,"0.4160 0.0967 0.1731",cex=0.8)
mtext("PE 0m", side=3, line=0.2, adj=0, cex=0.8)
D<-lm(Y~X)
abline(D)
summary(D)
#2

X <- LI[,5]
plot(Y~X,pch=1,cex=2,cex.lab=0.5,
xlim=c(0,14), ylim=c(0,14),xaxt='n',xaxt='n',
ylab="",xlab="")

text(7,2,"0.6513 0.0046 0.4242",cex=0.8)
mtext("PE 10m", side=3, line=0.2, adj=0, cex=0.8)

D<-lm(Y~X)
abline(D)
summary(D)
#and so on for total 10 plots.

Thank you

If you could use code tags, that would help a lot.

I think this line:

layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10),nrows=5, byrow=TRUE), heights=c(3,3,3,3,4),widths=c(4,3) )

Should be:

layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10),2,5, byrow=TRUE), heights=c(3,3,3,3,4),widths=c(4,3) )

Then adjust the margins:

par(mar=c(1,1,1,1))

Also the height and width of your plots may have to be adjusted.

the function matrix do not have an argument called "nrows" it has an argument called "nrow". Hence if you correct this typo what you are writing in #1 is the same as suggested in #2

layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10),nrow=5, byrow=TRUE), heights=c(3,3,3,3,4),widths=c(4,3) )
layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10),2,5, byrow=TRUE), heights=c(3,3,3,3,4),widths=c(4,3) )
