similar to: clipping viewports

When I use grid.rect to print a multi-coloured grid, it is incredibly slow compared to a single colour grid, or even a two colour grid. I've set out some simplified examples below. This is something I run literally thousands of times a day, so I would greatly appreciate any hints on how I might improve the speed??? library(grid) pushViewport(viewport( width = unit(100,

How do I get output with "\color{blue}", i.e. with only one backslash??? > "\color{blue}" [1] "color{blue}" Warning messages: 1: '\c' is an unrecognized escape in a character string 2: unrecognized escape removed from "\color{blue}" > "\\color{blue}" [1] "\\color{blue}" > Any help greatly appreciated. Best regards,

Is the following expected behaviour for a date used in an ifelse function? > date <- Sys.Date() > date [1] "2007-12-30" > ifelse(TRUE, date-1, date) [1] 13876 > ifelse(FALSE, date-1, date) [1] 13877 > ifelse(TRUE, as.character(date-1), date) [1] "2007-12-29" > if (TRUE) {date} [1] "2007-12-30" It would seem more natural to me if a date produced

Dear grid-expeRts, The goal: I would like to construct a plot (matrix) with grid and gridBase, which consists of four "sub-plots". The sub-plots should have a square plotting region as one would force with par(pty="s") in base graphics. The problem: I don't get a square plotting region, not even by specifying pty="s" in par(). Indeed, if you display the grid

Hello, I have two lattice plots for which panel.height is fixed. I am trying to position them in a column so that there is exactly half an inch of vertical space between them. This would be a simple task if I were not fixing panel.height. But given that I am, I can't find a way to put exactly half an inch of space between the plots. Is there a way? I've checked the Sarkar and

Hello, I'm trying to determine the width of a plotting point (in inches) in the grid package. I naively thought I could create a pointsGrob with only one point and get the width (as tried below), but this results in an object with a size of 0inches (changing cex has no effect). Does anyone have a better approach? Of course, it would be dependent upon the graphics parameters and viewport...

I am using lattice to make figures as pdfs: trellis.device(device = "pdf",file = "Figure6.pdf",color = FALSE) I need to specify some blank space on the left-hand margins (the pages will be bound so we need about 0.5 inch)). I have tried a number of solutions but none seems to work (e.g. par.set). Can this be done when initiating the plotting device? Or is the some other way

Hi All, I have been able to modify the x-axis to start at zero by adding xlow and xhigh parameters; that was pretty simple. I have been unable to find the location of the code that would turn off the information weighting of the box size (I have smaller randomized trials getting less weight than a much larger non-randomized trial). The function is forestplot() from rmeta. Thanks for any

Dear useRs, I'm working in R 2.0.1 for Windows and producing PDF files with Sweave. I seem to be hitting an image size ceiling of around 6.8 x 6.8 inches. I would like to produce taller images to make better use of my A4 page and have tried: <<TestMap, fig = TRUE, width = 6.5, height = 8 >>= par.old(fin = c(6.5, 8)) image(x, etc.) I get the message: Error in plot.new(): Figure

Dear list, This might be a topic for r-devel but i may be missing something obvious. I don't understand the rationale in the absolute sizes of the point symbols, and I couldn't find it documented. The example below uses Grid to check the size of the symbols against a square of 10mm x 10mm. > checkOneSymbol <- function(pch=0){ > gTree(children=gList( >

The following code, though not brilliant, works on an A4 page. It might look odd on other devices of a very different size. =============X8------- cut here ---------------------------- require(grid) wide <- 15 vps <- grid.layout(nrow = 3, ncol = 4, widths = unit(rep(1, 4), rep("null", 4)), heights = unit(c(99, 1, 99),

Dear list, I need to align two plots on top of each other for comparison (they only have the x-axis in common). When the y-labels have a different extent, I cannot find a way to align the x-axes, as illustrated below, > library(grid) > library(lattice) > x <- seq(0, 10, length=100) > y <- sin(x) > y2 <- 10*sin(x) > f <- rep(c("1", "2"),

When saving a data frame with long character variable, approximately longer than 30000 characters, to a text field in PostgreSQL, using RODBC on Windows XP, I get a timestamp saved to the database instead. Is there any way to extend the number of characters that a text variable can receive? Here are the details of my case (simplified): I'm using PostgreSQL to create a table CREATE TABLE

Dear all, I'm trying to get a series of lattice levelplots to appear in viewports in a particular way but struggling to exert fine control over their appearence. There are two conditions: (a) I only want the levelplot to appear (I don't want axes, colour key, etc) in the viewport and (b) I want the levelplot to expand to the maximum allowable space in the viewport while observing

Hi, A colleague recently came across an R crash, which I can boil down to the following, running under Rgui on Windows 7: library(ggplot2) ggplot(data.frame(x=1, y=1, z=4.7), aes(x, y, z=z)) + stat_summary2d() This reliably causes a segmentation fault. sessionInfo() below. What's happening is that (for reasons which I'll discuss with the ggplot2 developers) the 'colorbar'

Good afternoon, This is possibly a windows only bug, definitely of comparatively low importance - but for the sake of completeness here we go. I've searched http://bugs.R-project.org/ etc., but can find no mention. For RGui.exe, the CPU usage goes to 100% for certain dialog boxes for the duration that the dialog box is visible, e.g. * check CPU usage is low * On the RGui.exe menu chose

Dear list, I encounter an error when I try to use ddply to generate means as follows: fun3<-structure(list(sector = structure(list(gics_sector_name = c("Financials", "Financials", "Materials", "Materials")), .Names = "gics_sector_name", row.names = structure(c("UBSN VX Equity", "LLOY LN Equity", "AI FP Equity",

Dear R-users, I have got the following problem. I need to create 4x2 arrays of xyplot's on several pages. The plots are created within a loop and plotted using the print function. It seems that I cannot find the proper grid syntax with my viewports, and the more/newpage arguments. The following script is a simplification but hopefully will suffice to illustrate my problem. Any suggestion

Oh Knowledgeable Ones: I'm working on a project using grid graphics (for the first time). A toy example is given below, run it simply with >foobar() I am wondering why the pink dot and concentric circles are not centered on the 3-color axis system. Further, I feel like the concentric circles don't have the intended radius - if my math is right, the outmost circle should touch the
