I want to use grid to modify some boxplots made using ggplot. I would really appreciate if somebody could guide me to a resource on how to use grid to modify such graphics. I guess the basic approach will be similar to using grid to modify lattice graphics. To that extent something that explains use of grid to modify lattice graphics may also be useful. I have gone through vignettes in the grid package but am somehow not able to understand the overall approach. It would be useful if there is something more specific that deals with using grid to modify such graphics.
