Improving Axis Visibility in Base R Multi-Row Plots: A Step-by-Step Guide
Understanding the Problem When creating a figure with multiple subplots using base R, we often encounter issues where certain elements (like axis boxes) are lost or obscured due to other plotting commands. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of base R plotting and explore how to keep axis boxes visible across different subplots. The Issue The problem at hand is that when using par(xpd=F) before plotting functions, it affects all subsequent plotting commands, including those used for text annotations.
