[R] Adding margin text to lattice graphics

Colleagues

I am learning lattice graphics (R 2.12.2; OS X).  Several days ago, I inquired
about adding margin text to lattice graphics.  Jim Price offered a useful reply,
suggesting that I add:
	page = function(page) grid.text('words', x = 0.5, y = 0.01)
to my call to the function.  The entire function that he suggested was;
	xyplot(1 ~ 1,
     	 par.settings = list(layout.heights = list(bottom.padding = 10)),
     	 page = function(page) grid.text('words', x = 0.5, y = 0.01))
That worked initially and I also had success with panel.text.

However, I am now working with more complicated objects in which more than one
image is displayed on a page.  In this instance, the text added by the command
above appears with each image.  I would like it to appear only once, scaled
across the entire page, not relative to a single panel.

Is there a different command that accomplishes my goal?  Or a different
implementation of this same command?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, because of my naivete with lattice graphics, I may be asking the question
in entirely the wrong way -- please feel free to redirect me.

[R] Adding margin text to lattice graphics

Hi,

You may want to read about ?viewport in the grid package. They allow
you to position graphical elements wherever you want on a page, such
as lattice plots and text (grid.text). For a high-level interface, you
could try the following,


library(gridExtra)
library(lattice)

p1 = xyplot(1~1)
p2 = levelplot(volcano)
p3 = tableGrob(head(mpg[, 1:3]))
p4 = textGrob("some text")

grid.arrange(p1, p2, p3, p4, main="global page title",
                    sub=p4, left="page y-label")

HTH,
baptiste

[R] Adding margin text to lattice graphics

Yes, very sorry about this -- I had subconsciously ignored the
hypothetical possibility that anyone wouldn't have ggplot2 loaded in
their .Rprofile ;)

Replacing mpg with beaver1 (datasets) should be more reproducible.

That being said, I was told off-list that this is not answering at all
the question, whatever it was.

Best,

baptiste

[R] Adding margin text to lattice graphics

Hi,

You can try the combination of c.trellis and update from the latticeExtra
package. For example:

p <- xyplot(1~1)

update(c(p, p, p, p), xlab='SomeText', ylab='MoreText')

update(c(p, p, p, p), xlab=c('SomeText', 'SomeText2'),
ylab=c('MoreText', 'MoreText2'))

There are lots of examples in help(c.trellis).

Cheers.

Oscar.
