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"),

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().

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",

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) >

Dear list, This might be a topic for r-devel but i may be missing something obvious. I don't understand the rationale in the absolute sizes of the point symbols, and I couldn't find it documented. The example below uses Grid to check the size of the symbols against a square of 10mm x 10mm. > checkOneSymbol <- function(pch=0){ > gTree(children=gList( >

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 wanted to generate a plot which is almost like the plot generated by the following codes. category <- paste("Geographical Category", 1:10) grp1 <- rnorm(10, mean=10, sd=10) grp2 <- rnorm(10, mean=20, sd=10) grp3 <- rnorm(10, mean=15, sd=10) grp4 <- rnorm(10, mean=12, sd=10) mydat <- data.frame(category,grp1,grp2,grp3,grp4) dat.m <- melt(mydat) p <-

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::

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

Hi there, I just wonder how to draw this kind of picture... http://www.nabble.com/file/p24158796/b.jpg http://www.nabble.com/file/p24158796/a.jpg and this is what i have done %%%%% library(shape) library(diagram) curve(sin(x),bty="n",-8,8,yaxt="n",ylab="",xaxt="n",type="n",xlab="") axis(1,labels=F,at=seq(-8,8,1))

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 All, In a project I've been working on we've been using Reference Classes and grid extensively. However, something that I have come across is that when using the import() method on refclass objects, it does not work as expected with grid grobs and viewports. I have prepared test cases that illustrate the point but the general idea is that importing appears to work fine for

Dear all, I'm trying to access and modify grobs in a ggplot2 plot. The basic idea for raw Grid objects I understand from Paul Murrell's R graphics book, or this page of examples, http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/grid/copygrob/copygrobs.R However I can't figure out how to apply this to a ggplot (basically I don't know how to write a syntactically correct gPath), p

I've rolled up R-2.0.0.tar.gz a short while ago. This is a new version with a number of new features. See below for the details. As was the case with R 1.0.0, this new version represents a coming of age more than a radical change to R. We do plan to celebrate the new major version with press releases and such. The release will be available from

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,

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

Hello, When I use savePlot(filename="xy",type="eps") or savePlot(filename="xy",type="wmf") , I get the following error: Error in grid.Call("L_textBounds", as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x, x$y, : Polygon edge not found (zero-width or zero-height?) This doesn't occur when I change the type to "jpeg" or "bmp". Can

Hi, Am looking for an R package that will provide the drawing of curves and arcs of arbitrary shapes to use in illustrations. For example bent lines and arrows. Allan.
