Combine integrated R plots with ggplot

I am trying to make a layout plot that merges 3 plots. I want the first plot in the first row and the other ones in the second row like this image:

The problem comes when I try to combine plots integrated in R and a plot made with ggplot2 library. My code is the following:

layout(matrix(c(1, 1,
                2, 3), nrow=2, byrow=TRUE))
layout.show(n=3)
qplot(area_mean,
      geom="histogram",
      binwidth = 5,  
      main = "ggplot area min histogram", 
      xlab = "Age",  
      fill=I("blue"), 
      col=I("red"), 
      alpha=I(.2),
      xlim=c(0,3000))
hist(area_mean, col="purple", main="Histogram of area mean")
boxplot(area_mean, col="cyan", main="Boxplot of area mean")

Then my output image is:

Why qplot doesn't appear? I am missing something?

Thank you!!

Did you try patchwork? – Naive_Natural2511 Oct 30 '18 at 10:51

Patchwork only accepts ggplot objects (as do gridExtra and cowplot). To mix base R and ggplot plots, you need gridBase – prosoitos Oct 30 '18 at 15:07
I used print() function with layout and it works perfectly. GridBase is also an alternative so there are multiple solutions. Thank you all – Eric Oct 31 '18 at 11:41
