          pretty.order.rows = TRUE,
          pretty.order.cols = TRUE,
          # plot miles per gallon next to the rows
          yr = mtcars$mpg,
          yr.axis.name = "miles per gallon",
          # plot correlation with mpg above columns
          yt = cor(mtcars)[, "mpg"],
          yt.plot.type = "bar",
          yt.axis.name = "correlation with mpg",
          # increase size of left labels
