Hi all, I am have some difficulty with the legend function. I need to add a legend to describe the different line types in a plot. The legend box is small. It did not include sufficient length of each line type to help distinguish the differnt line types. Is there a way to fix this. Thank you Hannah [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I'm looking the best way to fill irregular polygons with patterns, Something like the function grid.pattern do, but my case is with irregular polygons. Whit this script I can get it, but I'm looking for an "elegant" solution.. library(grid) grid.polygon(x=c(0.2, 0.8, 0.6, 0.6, 0.8, 0.2), y=c(0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7,0.7), gp=gpar(fill="grey",

Dear R-users, I would like to know how to pass arguments to gpar() without hard-coding them. I tried to store my arguments in a list and passed this list to gpar(), but it did find the way to do it properly. Any help would be appreciated. a<- list(fontisze=8,col=3) gpar(fontsize=8,col=3) gpar(a) gpar(unlist(a))

I'm wondering how the cex parameter is used to scale circles (i.e. does it scale the radius, diameter, area, circumference, etc.?). In my case I'm using lattice with filled circles (pch=19). Based on example, it looks like R scales the radius of the circle: library(lattice) dta<-data.frame(x=rep(1,6),y=rep(1,6),sz=c(1,2,4,8,16,32))

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"))

I'm probably not using the function right, but anyway, the program said: "please bug.report." > w_R.f1=function(PR,Pc) return (Pc*PR^3) > > w_R.f2=function(PR,Pc) return (Pc*PR) > > w_R.fc=c(w_R.f1,w_R.f2) > w_R.fc[2] [[1]] function(PR,Pc) return (Pc*PR) > > RSD(type=3, + gparP=gpar(col="red"), + gparD=gpar(fill=FALSE,col=FALSE), +

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

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),

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

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().

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, I found in grid package, if the graphic parameters have zero length, R crashes. In the following code, I only tested `grid.rect()` and the `fill` parameter, but I think it should be similar as other grid graphic functions. In `gpar()` function, the graphic parameters are not allowed to have zero length, but we can make them with zero length by first generating a `gpar` object and then

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),

Dear R users I plot the trellis graphics by using the lattice package. Everything is OK. Now, I want set some parameters of the trellis graphics. 1. The tick label site. By default, only two tick labels had been output in x-axis of my plot. I want output four or five tick labels. In the traditional graphics system, it will be very easy. Just not output the axis in plot by use the parameter

Hi List, I am trying unsucessfully to modify the fontsize of lables in mosaic: require(vcd) mosaic(Titanic, pop=FALSE, labeling_args=list(rot_labels=c(bottom=90,top=90), set_varnames = c(Sex = "Gender"), gp_text=gpar(fontsize=20))) #can't get it to resize text tab <- ifelse(Titanic < 6, NA, Titanic) # it works for labeling_cells labeling_cells(text = tab,

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

I'm trying to find a way to change the font size in a mosaic plot (the grid version, not the base graphics one). Here's an example to demonstrate: #Basic plot library(vcd) mosaic(HairEyeColor, shade = TRUE) #Bad first guess: this stops the default cell colouring, and doesn't change the font size mosaic(HairEyeColor, shade = TRUE, gp=gpar(fontsize=16)) #This successfully changes

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

Hi, when using the grid package, I've come across this weird behaviour where a call to plot.new() will start a new page for a multi-page pdf, but then the margins will somehow behave strangely for all but the first page: here is some code: pdf("test.pdf"); plot.new(); grid.rect(gp = gpar(fill="blue")); plot.new(); grid.rect(gp = gpar(fill="blue")); dev.off()
