R help - Mar 2011 - Units and dimensions in grid object

Dear R-users,

As far as I understand, when one defines the width of a rectGrob call using
a 'npc' unit, the width of the object is proportional to the width of
the
current viewport. Is there a way to refer to the height (or width) of the
viewport when defining the width (or height) of the rectGrob object?

Thanks

Sebastien

Are you looking for ...

rectGrob(width=unit(1, "npc"))

... (which is the default anyway) or something else ?
