Hi R list, I like the default ticks that are set up using grid.xaxis() or grid.yaxis() with no arguments. Finding good values for the 'at' argument is usually not a trivial task; the default behavior of these functions seems to work well. The problem with this strategy is that I cannot figure out how to "recover" the positions of these ticks when you do NOT specify the

I am having a problem in editing a grob. It works ok if I try to shift the grob using npc coordinates but if I do the same thing using native coordinates the grob disappears. What is wrong? library(grid) grid.newpage() # create viewport pushViewport(viewport(xscale = c(100,200), name = "X")) # draw vertical line grid.lines(150, 0:1, default.units = "native", name =

Hello! I first would like to compliment the authors of grid on what has been a wonderfully useful package for me. Now, my question: Is there any way I can specify the size of some grid.text using grid units? I must label the regions of a plot. The regions can be either very small or very large, so I would like to label each by fitting its text to the size of the region in question. Ideally, I

I need to make a fairly complex animated graphic and decided to use grid for it. A very simple example of what I need: ##============================================================================== library(grid) grid.newpage() pushViewport(plotViewport()) pushViewport(viewport(xscale = extendrange(c(0, 100)), yscale = extendrange(c(0, 100)))) grid.xaxis() grid.yaxis()

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

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) >

I am trying to create a lattice plot and would like to later, i.e. after the plot is drawn, add a grey rectangle behind a portion of it. The following works except that the rectrangle is on top of and obscures a portion of the chart. I also tried adding col = "transparent" to the gpar list but that did not help -- I am on windows and perhaps the windows device does not support

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

Hi, ? Is there some easy way to split the grid.newpage() into two columns? For example, how could I put the two forest plots below (meta1 and meta2) next to each other? library(meta) data(Olkin95) meta1 <- metabin(event.e, n.e, event.c, n.c,data=Olkin95, subset=c(41,47,51,59),sm="RR", meth="I",studlab=author) meta2=meta1 meta2$studlab=rep("",length(meta1$studlab)

Dear all, I'm puzzled by the behavior of stringHeight in the grid package. Consider the following test, library(grid) test <- function(lab="dog", ...){ g1 <- textGrob(lab) g2 <- rectGrob(height=grobHeight(g1), width=grobWidth(g1)) gg <- gTree(children=gList(g1,g2), ...) print(c("height:", convertUnit(stringHeight(lab), "mm",

Hi! I am troubled by Sweave which I want to use in order to plot graphics which I build up successively by the use of grid.layout. Here is the code: <<fig=TRUE,label=evolDist,height=6in,width=3in,pdf=FALSE>>= ## combined plot via grid viewports grid.newpage() pushViewport(viewport(layout=grid.layout(2,1))) vlay <- function(x,y) viewport(layout.pos.row=x, layout.pos.col=y)

Hi all, I'm trying to generate a plot containing a scatterplot, with marginal densityplots for x and y. However, when I try to generate a vertical densityplot, I get the message "warning: can't clip to rotated viewport", and nothing shows up. I'm probably misunderstanding how viewports are meant to be used, so if someone could give me a hint, I'd be most grateful. my

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::

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

Dr Murrell and others, It seems grid.ls() fails after any use of grid.remove(). It gives an infinite recursion error even in the simplest cases, and no matter what arguments are passed to grid.ls. > library(grid) > grid.newpage() > grid.lines(name="foo") > grid.ls() foo > grid.remove("foo") > grid.ls() Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion

Hi, I'm trying to use Grid plots and would like to have an X axis that represents dates. I have several years of data so I would like to be able to have labeled tick marks only intermittently (not one per date). I can transform the initial data from a date time string into POSIXlt or POSIXct, or Date objects. The issue is that when I try to layout the plot using: dev.off() pushViewport(

Hello list, When using the grid package in R 1.60 under windows grid.lines and grid.line.to seem not to use the coordinate system as defined by the current viewport whereas grin.points does.
