similar to: grid.edit() for ggplot2

Dear list, I'm trying to arrange various grid objects on a page using a frameGrob. It works fine with basic grobs (textGrob, gTree, etc.), and also with ggplot2 objects using the ggplotGrob() function. I am however stuck with lattice. As far as I understand, lattice produces a list of class trellis, which is eventually displayed using the plot.trellis method. I am not sure if/how one can

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, Maybe I missed something - most likely .:-( I create a gplot and then makes some changes to the plot using grid graphics functions. These changes show up on the display OK, but when I save using ggsave() the grid changes do not show up. How do I save the plot with these changes? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context:

Dear list, As a minimal test of a more complex grid layout, I'm trying to find a clean and efficient way to arrange text grobs in a rectangular layout. The labels may be expressions, or text with a fontsize different of the default, which means that the cell sizes should probably be calculated using grobWidth() and grobHeight() as opposed to simpler stringWidth() and stringHeight().

Hi everyone,I'm trying to figure out how to use gPath and the documentation is not very helpful :( I have the following plot object: plot-surrounds:: background plot.gTree.378:: background guide.gTree.355:: (background.rect.345, minor-horizontal.segments.347, minor-vertical.segments.349, major-horizontal.segments.351, major-vertical.segments.353) guide.gTree.356::

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 All, I am trying to find out how to access the components of a ggplot plot, and I found this reply from Paul Murrel http://www.nabble.com/navigating-ggplot-viewports-tt14826352.html#a15056223. I tried it, and it works. However, I am trying to develop some functions that will do the drawing "automatically", and usually I will not know the full name of the grob that has the layout vp,

Dear all, I've tried all sorts of variations discussed in "R graphics" by Paul Murrell, but I still can't understand how to write a drawDetails method for a class derived from a gTree. Below is a minimal, dummy example where two strings are plotted in two separate viewports. I require the creation of the strings to be evaluated inside the drawDetails function because my real

Dear list, Can someone explain why the childNames below gives character(0) instead of the (canonical) names of the children grobs of the xaxis gTree ? [1] "major" "ticks" "labels" Many thanks in advance, Tobias ### minimal example code ### library(grid) pushViewport(plotViewport(c(5,4,4,2))) pushViewport(dataViewport(1:5, 1:5)) grid.points(1:5, 1:5)

Dear all, In an attempt to draw fill patterns in grid graphics, I have encountered a behavior of grobX that I cannot understand from the documentation. Consider this, library(grid) ## gTree g1 <- gTree(children=gList( rectGrob(0.5,0.5, width=unit(0.8,"npc"), height=unit(2,"cm")), circleGrob(r=0.3)), vp=viewport(0.5,0.5)) ##

Dear All, I continue trying to get several of my plotting functions to use ggplot, because I really do like the concept of the graphical objects, and working with them in the abstract. I am now trying to access the grobs to manipulate using grid. However, until now all I managed was to get the plot as a gTree object, and manipulate it as a gTree from there. The problem is that then it is no

Dear list, Following a recent enquiry, I've been playing with the idea of creating a colour gradient for a polygon, using the Grid package. The idea is to draw a number of stripes of different colours, using the grid.clip function. Below is my current attempt at this, library(grid) rotate.polygon <- function(g, angle=0){ # utility function, works fine matR <- matrix(c(cos(angle),

Hi, I want to remove minor-horizontal and minor-vertical lines from a plot generated with ggplot2. I can do this after the plot has been drawn using grid.gremove. However, I would like to do it before drawing my plot. The ggplot2 book refers to a ggplotGrob function which creates a grob from a plot but this function doesn't seem to exist in ggplot2 0.6. Is there another way to do it?

The xyplot help page gives quite a lot of information how to use key and indicates that legend needs to be used if multiple keys are needed. However, it gives only a brief description of what the grob needs to contain to do multiple keys. I've only used the occasional grid function in panel functions, so I don't have much of a sense of how grobs are constructed. I've been unable to

Hello! Don't quite understand how can I delete grobs and simultaneously erase graphic output they produce. I first change grob's "vp" field to null (grid.edit(gr,vp=NULL)) to erase it and then call rm(gr) (as grobs are external pointers I'm not shure what this method actually frees allocated memory). May be there is simpler method? Does garbage collector have any effect

I've rolled up R-1.9.0.tgz a short while ago. This is a new version with a number of new features, most notably a substantial reorganization of the standard packages, a major update of the grid package, and the fact that underscore can now be used as a regular character in variable names. See below for further changes. Because of the disturbances at the machine that hosted the CVS archives,

Hi everyone I'd like to flip grobs (grid graphical objects) along an axis, e.g. flip grobs horizontally or vertically. I couldn't find any hints, neither in the documentation nor by searching the web. Does anybody know how to achieve this? Cheers /thomas
