How to save plot.bammdata plots

[Jamie T]

I have a number of bammdata files (for many trees) that I'd like to show in the same panel e.g. using "ggarrange".  If I write "a = plot(event_data)" it plots it fine, but if I write "a" or "plot(a)" it just gives me the list without a plot.

How can I save the plot within R?

Hi Jamie,

BAMMtools does not use ggplot for plotting, so what you are trying to do will not work. BAMMtools uses base R functions for plots. There are a number of ways to make multi-panel plots in R, using the layout() function for example or par(mfrow = c(nrow, ncol)), and there may even be additional R packages to streamline the process.
