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, 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

Hi, I'm using the gridExtra package to combine some graphs like in the arrangeGrob example. Each of the graphs has a title but they appear much larger than the overall combined plot title and left axis label. Does anyone know how I can control the style / size of the gridExtra labels? library(gridExtra) library(ggplot2) dsamp <- diamonds[sample(nrow(diamonds), 1000), ] p1 <-

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

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

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:

I am having a problem in editing a grob. It works ok if I try to shift the grob using npc coordinates but if I do the same thing using native coordinates the grob disappears. What is wrong? library(grid) grid.newpage() # create viewport pushViewport(viewport(xscale = c(100,200), name = "X")) # draw vertical line grid.lines(150, 0:1, default.units = "native", name =

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)) ##

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 <-

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

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, 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 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)

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

Greetings to the help mailing list. I am in the process of translating a large graphic from xyplot to ggplot2 (13 columns by about rows). I have been unsuccessful trying to understand how to place the following text strings after three days of: * Perusing Wickham's "gg2plot" book; * Searching his site for gg2plot and qplot; * Reviewing the "man pages" for gg2plot; *

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/

Hello, I'm attempting to alter the location of text in my axis labels in lattice plots and have been unsuccessful so far. For example, the y-axis labels are always right-justified, but I would like them to be horizontally centered. Here's an example: library(lattice); # create fake dataset to plot to.plot <- data.frame( x = 1:5, y = c("1\nAAA", "2\nBBB",
