Hello, I am having trouble adding symbols to grid graphics. I am able to create a lattice scatterplot using xyplot, which has a range from -15:15 in both the X and Y directions. However, when I try to add circles and text to this graph using grid.circle() and grid.text(), they are offset using the default npc coordinates. Nothing happens when I pass the parameter default.units="native"

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

Dear All, I ma having a trouble in generating a figure containing 3 insets with the gridBase package. I always get an error message of the kind: Error in gridPLT() : Figure region too small and/or viewport too large No matter which parameters I choose. The plots works nicely with two insets only, but when I try adding the third one, my troubles begin. I am probably doing something wrong in the

Hello, I'm trying to follow the documentation of how to use gridBase, and I've reached the minimal code example below as my best effort. Can someone explain how to keep the column of boxplots on the same page as the rectangles (even though I've tried new = TRUE) ? Also, would it be hard / possible to match up the middle of each boxplot to the middle of each rectangle ?

Hi again! I put this question in another topics post before but I fear it might drown there. Is it possible to have transparent / alpha blended colors for pie charts? I am using the pies in a map of pies and those pies are sometimes overlapping so it would be great to see if another pie lies beneath. Thanks, Werner

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

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)),

I would like to use gridBase to place four separate heatmaps (actually, a stripped-down heatmap.2 from ght gregmisc package that contains only the "image" part) into four different viewports. I can get the placement correct, but I keep 'losing' the previous plot. Any suggestions? Here is some quick example code trying to put a heatmap into the left viewport and then

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 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, I want to do the following: 1) create a trellis plot with 1 x 1 layout 2) add a key in the upper right hand corner of the plotting region (i.e., the panel), but after the initial call to trellis 3) resize the resulting device graphics device without changing the relative position of the key For instance, the code below draws the key relative to the device window--not the plotting area.

Hi, I need to draw a line segment between two points on different plots in the same multigraph.I've tried looking at the zoominplot function in plotrix but havent understood much.any help is appreciated ~Aks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

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),

Hi All, I have been able to modify the x-axis to start at zero by adding xlow and xhigh parameters; that was pretty simple. I have been unable to find the location of the code that would turn off the information weighting of the box size (I have smaller randomized trials getting less weight than a much larger non-randomized trial). The function is forestplot() from rmeta. Thanks for any

Am just feeling my way into the grid library, and cannot figure out how to define the plot limits. 3/5 of the example polygons below plot in the default 0-1 range viewport. But when I try to redefine the viewport the polygons plot in the same places. I also get the same result without employing push/pop. (As you can see from the scale I'm trying to introduce, I want to plot map polygons.)

Hi there, I tried to add a few circles on an existing figure using the following codes grid.circle(x=0.5, y=0.5, r=0.1, draw=TRUE, gp=gpar(col=5)) grid.circle(x=0.5, y=0.5, r=0.3, draw=TRUE, gp=gpar(col=5)) grid.circle(x=0.5, y=0.5, r=0.5, draw=TRUE, gp=gpar(col=5)) points(0.5, 0.5, col = 5) # centre of the circle , but all circles moved away from the centre. Could we do any

Dear R-users, I would like to add a legend at the bottom of pairs plots (it's my first use of this function). With the plot function, I usually add some additional space at the bottom when I define the size of the graphical device (using mar); grid functions then allows me to draw my legend as I want. Unfortunatley, this technique does not seem to work with the pairs function as the
