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 list, I have two questions regarding grid.symbols() in the grImport package. This package allows you to import a vector graphic in R, and grid.symbols() can be used to plot the resulting glyph at arbitrary locations in a grid viewport. I have tried the code in the grImport vignette, which is most interesting, however I am stuck with two problems: 1- Is there a possibility to create a

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

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().

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"),

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, 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

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

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

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

Why does the seekViewport at the bottom give an error? > xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, iris, group = Species, col = 11:13, + auto.key = TRUE) > grid.ls(view = TRUE) ROOT GRID.rect.89 plot1.toplevel.vp plot1.xlab.vp plot1.xlab 1 plot1.ylab.vp plot1.ylab 1 plot1.strip.1.1.off.vp GRID.segments.90 1 plot1.strip.left.1.1.off.vp

Hi, I'd like to fill an existing svg (or png) map with gradient colors. In detail: The file http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Karte_%C3%96sterreich_Bundesl%C3%A4nder.svg should be filled with the population density data from this table: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96sterreich#Verwaltungsgliederung choosing the right color saturation (or whatever). The final result should be something

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 R users I have problems horizontally aligning labels in keys of lattice plots when the labels make use of plotmath. Here's a self-contained example: dat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(10), y = rnorm(10), z = factor(rep(c("a", "b"), each = 5))) xyplot(y ~ x, dat, groups = z, auto.key = list(columns = 2, text =

Hi all, What's the best way of placing a grob into muliple viewports? I've been using code like: plot_grob_matrix <- function(gm, type=deparse(substitute(gm))) { grid <- expand.grid(x=1:nrow(gm), y=1:ncol(gm)) do.call(gList,mapply(function(x,y) editGrob(gm[[x,y]], vp=vp_path(x, y, type)), grid$x, grid$y, SIMPLIFY=FALSE)) } vp_path <- function(row, col, type) {

Hi Im trying to save a plot both to a pdf and as just a picture but without success so if someone can help me I would be happy :) my code: require(party) irisct <- ctree(Species ~ .,data = iris) data(iris) attach(iris) pdf('/home/joel/Skrivbord/mammamu.pdf') try(png('/home/joel/Skrivbord/mammamu1.png')) plot(Sepal.Length, Petal.Length, col=unclass(Species)) legend(4.5, 7,

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

I am trying to add a copyright disclaimer outside the plot borders of some images I have created. I can use mtext() to add the written portion, but I would like to have the Creative Commons license image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cc.logo.circle.svg) before the text. I've found that I can plot a .png image inside the plot boundaries using rasterImage() but I can't figure out how to

Dear all, I use the following to create a list of identical grobs, require(grid) rep.grob <- function(g, n){ replicate(n, g, simplify=FALSE) } This approach suffers two problems: 1- R CMD check is not happy about the S3-like name. How can / Should I make this a real S3 method? 2- I don't know if this is the most efficient way to do it. Suggestions are welcome. Regards, baptiste
