# alignment of plots [closed]

I want to align my plots like I did with Gird[].

But you cracks here are using these short forms all the time. So, is there a way to achive this result in a better way?

Here 's my code:

plots = DateListPlot[CountryData[#, {"Population", {1800, 2020}}],
PlotLabel -> "population of " <> #,ImageSize->250] & /@ {"Poland", "Austria",
"Switzerland", "India"};

GraphicsGrid[{{plots[[1]], plots[[2]]}, {plots[[3]], plots[[4]]}},
ImageSize -> 500]


With this I'll get

But I want to do something like this

GraphicsColumn@plots


I don't like the column but I hope there's a way my code could look like this.

Thanks to Kuba's comment this part of my question is answered:

"And btw, is there a way to change the ImageSize here?"

Set the ImageSize and ImagePadding etc. when you create your plots at first. p.s. I'm not sure what is the question but maybe you need GraphicsGrid@Partition[plots,2]? –  Kuba Apr 23 at 7:25
Basically you want to convert {1,2,3,4} to {{1,2},{3,4}} which can be done as above. I find it easy to find in documentation as a part of basic list operations –  Kuba Apr 23 at 7:43

Hmm, perhaps you just want to define a "function"?

myLayout[plots_] :=
GraphicsGrid[{{plots[[1]], plots[[2]]}, {plots[[3]], plots[[4]]}},
ImageSize -> 500]


This can then be called with:

myLayout@plots

Basically, that's what I want to do. But I'm looking for something like this GraphicsGrid[{{#1,#2},{#3,#4}}]&plots. Due to the structure of plots GraphicsGrid@{plots}gives me the GraphicsRow[]... one step closer ;-) –  Phab Apr 23 at 7:36
or GraphicsGrid[Partition[{##}, 2]] & @@ plots, GraphicsGrid[Partition[{##}, 1]] & @@ plots ... GraphicsGrid[Partition[{##}, 4]] & @@ plots etc...? –  kguler Apr 23 at 7:40
@kguler Yes, that's the kind of code I'm looking for. .. now I just have to understand what's happening. –  Phab Apr 23 at 7:43
Look up ## and @@ in the docs:) –  kguler Apr 23 at 7:45
