\arguments{
\item{fun}{Plot function (or name of the function) to be called on the 
arrays provided in 'var'. If multiple arrays are provided in 'var', a 
vector of as many function names (character strings!) can be provided in 
'fun', one for each array in 'var'.}

\item{plot_dims}{Numeric or character string vector with identifiers of the 
input plot dimensions of the plot function specified in 'fun'. If 
character labels are provided, names(dim(var)) or attr('dimensions', var) 
will be checked to locate the dimensions. As many plots as 
prod(dim(var)[-plot_dims]) will be generated. If multiple arrays are 
provided in 'var', 'plot_dims' can be sent a list with a vector of plot 
dimensions for each. If a single vector is provided, it will be used for 
all the arrays in 'var'.}

\item{var}{Multi-dimensional array with at least the dimensions expected by 
the specified plot function in 'fun'. The dimensions reqired by the 
function must be specified in 'plot_dims'. The dimensions can be 
disordered and will be reordered automatically. Dimensions can optionally 
be labelled in order to refer to them with names in 'plot_dims'. All the 
available plottable sub-arrays will be automatically plotted and arranged 
in consecutive cells of an automatically arranged layout. A list of 
multiple (super-)arrays can be specified. The process will be repeated for 
each of them, by default applying the same plot function to all of them 
or, if properly specified in 'fun', a different plot function will be 
applied to each of them. NAs can be passed to the list: a NA will yield a 
blank cell in the layout, which can be populated after 
(see .SwitchToFigure).}

\item{\dots}{Parameters to be sent to the plotting function 'fun'. If 
multiple arrays are provided in 'var' and multiple functions are provided 
in 'fun', the parameters provided through \dots will be sent to all the 
plot functions, as common parameters. To specify concrete arguments for 
each of the plot functions see parameter 'special_args'.}

\item{special_args}{List of sub-lists, each sub-list having specific extra 
arguments for each of the plot functions provided in 'fun'. If you want to 
fix a different value for each plot in the layout you can do so by 
a) splitting your array into a list of sub-arrays (each with the data for 
one plot) and providing it as parameter 'var', 
b) providing a list of named sub-lists in 'special_args', where the names 
of each sub-list match the names of the parameters to be adjusted, and 
each value in a sub-list contains the value of the corresponding parameter.
For example, if the plots are two maps with different arguments, the 
structure would be like:\cr
var:\cr
 List of 2\cr
  $ : num [1:360, 1:181] 1 3.82 5.02 6.63 8.72 ...\cr
  $ : num [1:360, 1:181] 2.27 2.82 4.82 7.7 10.32 ...\cr
special_args:\cr
 List of 2\cr
 $ :List of 2\cr
  ..$ arg1: ...\cr
  ..$ arg2: ...\cr
 $ :List of 1\cr
  ..$ arg1: ...\cr}

\item{nrow}{Numeric value to force the number of rows in the automatically 
generated layout. If higher than the required, this will yield blank cells 
in the layout (which can then be populated). If lower than the required 
the function will stop. By default it is configured to arrange the layout 
in a shape as square as possible. Blank cells can be manually populated 
after with customized plots (see SwitchTofigure).}

\item{ncol}{Numeric value to force the number of columns in the 
automatically generated layout. If higher than the required, this will 
yield blank cells in the layout (which can then be populated). If lower 
than the required the function will stop. By default it is configured to 
arrange the layout in a shape as square as possible. Blank cells can be 
manually populated after with customized plots (see SwitchTofigure).}

\item{toptitle}{Topt title for the multi-pannel. Blank by default.}

\item{row_titles}{Character string vector with titles for each of the rows 
in the layout. Blank by default.}

\item{col_titles}{Character string vector with titles for each of the 
columns in the layout. Blank by default.}

\item{bar_scale}{Scale factor for the common colour bar. Takes 1 by default.}

\item{title_scale}{Scale factor for the multi-pannel title. Takes 1 by 
default.}

\item{title_margin_scale}{Scale factor for the margins surrounding the top 
title. Takes 1 by default.}

\item{title_left_shift_scale}{When plotting row titles, a shift is added 
to the horizontal positioning of the top title in order to center it to 
the region of the figures (without taking row titles into account). This 
shift can be reduced. A value of 0 will remove the shift completely, 
centering the title to the total width of the device. This parameter will 
be disregarded if no 'row_titles' are provided.}

\item{subtitle_scale}{Scale factor for the row titles and column titles 
(specified in 'row_titles' and 'col_titles'). Takes 1 by default.}

\item{subtitle_margin_scale}{Scale factor for the margins surrounding the 
subtitles. Takes 1 by default.}

\item{subplot_titles_scale}{Scale factor for the subplots top titles. Takes 
1 by default.}

\item{brks, cols, bar_limits, triangle_ends}{Usually only providing 'brks' is 
enough to generate the desired colour bar. These parameters allow to 
define n breaks that define n - 1 intervals to classify each of the values 
in 'var'. The corresponding grid cell of a given value in 'var' will be 
coloured in function of the interval it belongs to. These parameters are 
sent to \code{ColorBar()} to generate the breaks and colours. Additional 
colours for values beyond the limits of the colour bar are also generated 
and applied to the plot if 'bar_limits' or 'brks' and 'triangle_ends' are 
properly provided to do so. See ?ColorBar for a full explanation.}

\item{drawleg}{Where to draw the common colour bar. Can take values TRUE, 
FALSE or:\cr
'up', 'u', 'U', 'top', 't', 'T', 'north', 'n', 'N'\cr
'down', 'd', 'D', 'bottom', 'b', 'B', 'south', 's', 'S' (default)\cr
'right', 'r', 'R', 'east', 'e', 'E'\cr
'left', 'l', 'L', 'west', 'w', 'W'}

\item{titles}{Character string vector with titles for each of the figures in 
the multi-pannel, from top-left to bottom-right. Blank by default.}

\item{col_inf, col_sup}{Colour identifiers to colour the values in 'var' that 
go beyond the extremes of the colour bar and to colour NA values, 
respectively. 'colNA' takes 'white' by default. 'col_inf' and 'col_sup' 
will take the value of 'colNA' if not specified. See ?ColorBar for a full 
explanation on 'col_inf' and 'col_sup'.}

\item{color_fun, subsampleg, bar_extra_labels, draw_bar_ticks, draw_separators, triangle_ends_scale, bar_label_digits, bar_label_scale, units_scale, bar_tick_scale, bar_extra_margin}{Set of parameters to control the visual aspect of the drawn colour bar. See ?ColorBar for a full explanation.}

\item{units}{Title at the top of the colour bar, most commonly the units of 
the variable provided in parameter 'var'.}

\item{bar_left_shift_scale}{When plotting row titles, a shift is added to 
the horizontal positioning of the colour bar in order to center it to the 
region of the figures (without taking row titles into account). This shift 
can be reduced. A value of 0 will remove the shift completely, centering 
the colour bar to the total width of the device. This parameter will be 
disregarded if no 'row_titles' are provided.}

\item{extra_margin}{Extra margins to be added around the layout, in the 
format c(y1, x1, y2, x2). The units are margin lines. Takes rep(0, 4) 
by default.}

\item{layout_by_rows}{Logical indicating wether the panels should be filled 
by columns (FALSE) or by raws (TRUE, default).}

\item{fileout}{File where to save the plot. If not specified (default) a 
graphics device will pop up. Extensions allowed: eps/ps, jpeg, png, pdf, 
bmp and tiff.}

\item{width}{Width in inches of the multi-pannel. 7 by default, or 11 if 
'fielout' has been specified.}

\item{height}{Height in inches of the multi-pannel. 7 by default, or 11 if 
'fileout' has been specified.}

\item{size_units}{Units of the size of the device (file or window) to plot 
in. Inches ('in') by default. See ?Devices and the creator function of 
the corresponding device.}

\item{res}{Resolution of the device (file or window) to plot in. See 
?Devices and the creator function of the corresponding device.}

\item{close_device}{Whether to close the graphics device after plotting 
the layout and a 'fileout' has been specified. This is useful to avoid 
closing the device when saving the layout into a file and willing to add 
extra elements or figures. Takes TRUE by default. Disregarded if no 
'fileout' has been specified.}
}
\value{
\item{brks}{
 Breaks used for colouring the map (and legend if drawleg = TRUE).
}
\item{cols}{
 Colours used for colouring the map (and legend if drawleg = TRUE). 
   Always of length length(brks) - 1.
}
\item{col_inf}{
 Colour used to draw the lower triangle end in the colour bar 
   (NULL if not drawn at all).
}
\item{col_sup}{
 Colour used to draw the upper triangle end in the colour bar 
   (NULL if not drawn at all).
}
\item{layout_matrix}{
 Underlying matrix of the layout. Useful to later set any of the layout 
   cells as current figure to add plot elements. See .SwitchToFigure.
}

\description{
This function takes an array or list of arrays and loops over each of them 
to plot all the sub-arrays they contain on an automatically generated 
multi-pannel layout. A different plot function (not necessarily from 
s2dv) can be applied over each of the provided arrays. The input 
dimensions of each of the functions have to be specified, either with the 
names or the indices of the corresponding input dimensions. It is possible 
to draw a common colour bar at any of the sides of the multi-pannel for all 
the s2dv plots that use a colour bar. Common plotting arguments 
for all the arrays in 'var' can be specified via the '...' parameter, and 
specific plotting arguments for each array can be fully adjusted via 
'special_args'. It is possible to draw titles for each of the figures, 
layout rows, layout columns and for the whole figure. A number of parameters 
is provided in order to adjust the position, size and colour of the 
components. Blank cells can be forced to appear and later be filled in 
manually with customized plots.\cr
This function pops up a blank new device and fills it in, so it cannot be 
nested in complex layouts.
