Description

I was trying to use tinyplot with layout. However, there appears to be an issue.

works: all plots basically are drawn, but not in the matrix layout

layout(matrix(c(1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3), nrow = 2, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE ))

tinyplot(Petal.Width ~ Sepal.Width | Species, data = iris)
tinyplot(Sepal.Width ~ Petal.Length | Species, data = iris)
tinyplot(Petal.Width ~ Petal.Length | Species, data = iris)

doesn't work: all plots basically are drawn in the matrix layout, when the by argument is not used (both with by and formula syntax)

layout(matrix(c(1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3),
  nrow = 2, ncol = 4, byrow = TRUE
))

tinyplot(Petal.Width ~ Sepal.Width, data = iris)
tinyplot(Sepal.Width ~ Petal.Length, data = iris)
tinyplot(Petal.Width ~ Petal.Length, data = iris)

Research direction

Reproduce the two examples in the issue using R, comparing the faceted and non-faceted tinyplot calls with the same layout(matrix(...)) setup. Trace tinyplot's layout handling from the relevant plotting entry point; done when both formula and by-based calls draw their plots in the requested matrix layout.
