similar to: size of point symbols

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...

Dear all, I feel like I've been reinventing the wheel with this code (implementing type = 'b' for Grid graphics), http://econum.umh.ac.be/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:graphics-grid:linesandpointsgrob Has anyone here attempted this with success before? I found suggestions of overlapping large white points to mask the lines but it's not ideal. I welcome any comments on the code.

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"),

If I run the following example from: http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/grid/doc/grobs.pdf > grid.newpage() > pushViewport(viewport(w = 0.5, h = 0.5)) > myplot <- gTree(name = "myplot", children = gList(rectGrob(name = "box", + gp = gpar(col = "grey")), xaxisGrob(name = "xaxis"))) > grid.draw(myplot) >

Hello all, I'm trying to write a function using the gridBase package. I'd like to push several base subplots to a larger plot constructed with grid. However, I'm having trouble getting consistent results when running the function when the plotting window (quartz) is closed, when it is left open and the plot function is repeated to the same window, and when the output is saved to a

I am setting up base plots -- one in viewport A and and one in B. This part works fine. But if I go back to A after having done B and add horizontal lines it seems to not use the correct coordinates. How do I tell it to resume using A's coordinates? I am already using par(fig = gridFIG()) but it seems that that's not enough to reestablish them. What happens is that when I go back to

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),

I'm trying to create a layout with named viewports that I can use for other functions. I create the viewport tree that I want, and a list of grobs with the viewports describing where they should go. library(grid) vp <- vpTree( viewport(layout=grid.layout(2,2), name="layout"), children=vpList( viewport(layout.pos.col = 1, layout.pos.row=1, name="tl"),

Hi, Why does the upper left panel (in the plot below) not have a gray background? Cheers, Marius require(grid) require(gridBase) pdf(file="Rplot.pdf", width=8, height=8, onefile=FALSE) ## set up the grid layout gl <- grid.layout(5, 5, widths=unit(c(1.8, 8, 0.8, 8, 0.8), "cm"), heights=unit(c(0.8, 8, 0.8, 8, 1.5), "cm")) if(FALSE) grid.show.layout(gl)

Dear useRs, Why are the rotated blue and yellow boxes in the example below clipped outside of 6 x 6 inch window in the middle of the page?? Where does the 6 x 6 inch window come from? I would like to make use of the entire page. > library(grid) > pdf(file = "FarmMaps.pdf", paper = "a4") > pushViewport(viewport( + width = unit(7.6, "inches"), height =

hello, the example below does not work. (i know it's not supposed, but it makes it clear what i'm trying to achieve) par(mfrow=c(2,1)) xyplot(y~x2|x1,data=dataframe1,pch=20) xyplot(y~x2|x1,data=dataframe2,pch=20) i know i could probably merge the two datasets and do something like xyplot(y~x2|x1+dataset,data=merged) any other suggestion? thanks.

Dear list, I'm trying to get two lattice plots aligned on a page. They should share a common x axis, hence the need for perfect alignment, but the data is taken from unrelated, separate sources (it is therefore inappropriate to combine them and use facetting to get an automatic layout: the legend and y axis need to be different). I can get the panels to be of the same size, but

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 everyone. I want to solve the following problem. I have a data.frame and I create a dotplot using lattice. Then I want to use the grid-package to create a combined graphic which contains the dotplot as well as a textplot() (using package gplots) of the data.frame next to the dotplot. Example code: library(lattice) library(grid) library(gplots) xx <- data.frame(f=factor(rep(1:5, each=5)),

Hello all, I'm trying to write a function that produces a main plotting region with several square plots along the right side. Ideally the size of right side plots will scale only with the height of the entire plot, yet never overlap with another secondary plot. The following two snippets get close, however, as I resize the plot horizontally the right side plots (green squares) get smaller

Dear UseRs, For various reasons I need to plot multiple ggplots on one device (preferably pdf). Is there a way to achieve that? par(mfrow), split.screen() and layout() seem not to do the job. Thanks, Vitalie.

Dear colleagues I'm using data that looks like .test and .test1 below to draw two mosaic plots with cell labelling (the row percentages from the tables). When I take out the pop=FALSE commands in the mosaic commands and comment out the two lines labelling the cells, then the plots are laid out exactly as I'd like: side-by-side. But I do require the cell labelling and the pop=FALSE

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
