similar to: grid - deleting and erasing grobs?

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"),

Dear list, The dichromat package defines a dichromat function which "Collapses red-green color distinctions to approximate the effect of the two common forms of red-green colour blindness, protanopia and deuteranopia." library(dichromat) library(grid) colorStrip <- function (colors = 1:3, draw = TRUE) { x <- seq(0, 1 - 1/length(colors), length = length(colors)) y <-

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

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

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)

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 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

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,

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) >

Why this command does not return grob? What is special about grill and what makes it different from axis, lines, rectangles... Thanks in advance

Hello! When I draw points on grid's viewport with clip set to TRUE clipping does not have effect on some symbols. It happens only when drawing over gtkDevice (GTK ver. 1.2) (with postscript device clipping works OK - take a look at this screenshot http://www.hppi.troitsk.ru/Kondrin/clipbug.png) and only with symbols that are drawn with commands other than gdk_draw_polygon() (i.e. circles

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),

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

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, 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)) ##

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

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

library(grid) e <- rectGrob() # OR: # e <- environment() a <- matrix(list(e), ncol = 1, nrow = 2) b <- matrix(ncol = 0, nrow = 2) cbind(a, b) cbind(a, b) This reliably crashes R for me. I realise this is a rather esoteric error condition, but it crops up for me when creating matrices of grobs to be turned into a ggplot2 plot. Hadley -- http://had.co.nz/

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) {
