Hi,

My goal is to open multiple plots in different windows. I'm using the function "quartz()" before each plotting command. This, opens a window for each plot, but in the fourth plot it overwrites the first one instead of showing it in the new window that was opened for it.

Does anyone know how to solve it? or even has a more elegant solution for multiple plotting?

This isn't a DESeq2 question per se, as it doesn't involve DESeq2 functions, so I'm removing that tag.

Ok sure no problem sorry for that. Just trying to plot the DESeq2 vignette suggestions plots.

There are different ways of doing this, depending on the nature of the plots that you are generating.

par(mfrow(...))
cowplot
grid / gridExtra
egg

Take a look here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/egg/vignettes/Ecosystem.html

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for replying. Do these methods work for plots rather than ggplot generated plots? or a mixture of plots (ie, ggplot and other packages)?

For example: I'm trying to assign a plot that was generated by the function "plotMA" to a variable in order to combine it with another ggplot for visualization and it doesn't work for me.

Best
