R markdown：减少 pdf Z78E6221F6393D1356681DB398F 文档中两个图之间的空间

Question

• Aim: R markdown: To construct one DinA4 pdf page with a rectangle on the top left side and two plots.
• Problem: After drawing the rectangle, the next plot is far away with a large white space in between.
• Desired Output: Heatmap should appear immediately after the rectangle may with one or two white lines.

I guess the problem is the drawing of the rectangle. Here I need some help. Thank you.

You can use the subfigure environment to display multiple plots side by side, though you may not want to place the rectangle under the same main caption as the heatmap.
