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

Dear useRs, Why are the rotated blue and yellow boxes in the example below clipped outside of 6 x 6 inch window in the middle of the page?? Where does the 6 x 6 inch window come from? I would like to make use of the entire page. > library(grid) > pdf(file = "FarmMaps.pdf", paper = "a4") > pushViewport(viewport( + width = unit(7.6, "inches"), height =

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

The following code, though not brilliant, works on an A4 page. It might look odd on other devices of a very different size. =============X8------- cut here ---------------------------- require(grid) wide <- 15 vps <- grid.layout(nrow = 3, ncol = 4, widths = unit(rep(1, 4), rep("null", 4)), heights = unit(c(99, 1, 99),

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, I want to produce two parallel rotated strips with color gradient. So far, the sample strip is something produced by this: pushViewport(viewport(x = unit(0.638, "npc"), y =unit(0.386, "npc"), width=.62, height=0.006, angle=137.2)) grid.rect(y=100:1/100, just="top", gp=gpar(col=NA, fill=colorRampPalette(c("lightgray",

Hi everybody, I just notice a strange behaviour of gpar's fill argument when using non-postscript devices: The default of the argument is transparent (according to get.gpar("fill")). So as expected, the following code draws a nice red rectangle in the middle of my X11 or postscript device. pushViewport(viewport(width=0.5, height=0.5)) grid.rect(gp=gpar(fill="red"))

Oh Knowledgeable Ones: I'm working on a project using grid graphics (for the first time). A toy example is given below, run it simply with >foobar() I am wondering why the pink dot and concentric circles are not centered on the 3-color axis system. Further, I feel like the concentric circles don't have the intended radius - if my math is right, the outmost circle should touch the

Dear list, I'm puzzled by the graphical output in the following example, library(grid) foo <- function(){ grid.rect(gp=gpar(fill="black")) print(get.gpar()$fill) grid.rect(width=0.2,height=0.2) } png("test.png", bg = "transparent") foo() dev.off() png("test1.png", bg = "white") foo() dev.off() It seems that the default value of

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

Hi Just to clarify, I think this IS a problem with grid.path() as well as polypath(). For the example you give, grid.path() diverts to drawing a polygon (because there is no 'id' specified), and the NAs in 'x' generate two separate polygons, which get drawn one on top of the other. The correct analogy to the polypath() example is ... x2 <- matrix(x[!is.na(x)], ncol=2)

Dear all, I am trying to use hexbin and read the very interesting article on grid ( http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/useR-2004/Keynotes/Murrell.pdf ) and am hoping for some advice from more experienced users of hexbin. I am trying to visualise a data and fit a straight line trough it. For example, here is how I would do it in the usual way # simulate data x <- rnorm(1000) y <-

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've been trying to format a plot output using par() with mfrow, fin, mai, etc and basically it's proving to be a pain. I searched on google and found that Paul Murrell had written a grid Graphics program which seems perfect. However, when I try and use say viewport() I just get a function not found error. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? Thank-you

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,

Hi, Why does the upper left panel (in the plot below) not have a gray background? Cheers, Marius require(grid) require(gridBase) pdf(file="Rplot.pdf", width=8, height=8, onefile=FALSE) ## set up the grid layout gl <- grid.layout(5, 5, widths=unit(c(1.8, 8, 0.8, 8, 0.8), "cm"), heights=unit(c(0.8, 8, 0.8, 8, 1.5), "cm")) if(FALSE) grid.show.layout(gl)

Hi All... I haven?t found mention of this error anywhere. I'm trying to draw spline curves using grid graphics. Most of the time, I have no problems, but I have some data sets that give the error in the subject line. I'm not sure which end points are identical, but the end points passed to the function are definitely not identical. Any assistance appreciated! Bryan tst <-
