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

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),

Deepayan, Paul: Thanks very much for the very useful leads. I just spent some time this afternoon implementing your suggestions and my early test results are very encouraging. Paul, I understand the potential device re-sizing issue with the convert family of functions in grid, and will be in touch in case it becomes problematic for my applications. I very much look forward to your upcoming

Dear list, This might be a topic for r-devel but i may be missing something obvious. I don't understand the rationale in the absolute sizes of the point symbols, and I couldn't find it documented. The example below uses Grid to check the size of the symbols against a square of 10mm x 10mm. > checkOneSymbol <- function(pch=0){ > gTree(children=gList( >

Hi: I am a newbie using grid and lattice. I want to update a xyplot without redrawing and I was wondering if there is a way of adding a point to a pointsGrob ? For example, take the example from the "R Graphics Book" page 218-219: grid.newpage() angle <- seq(0, 2*pi, length=21)[-21] x <- cos(angle) y <- sin(angle) xyplot( y ~ x, aspect = 1) Lets say I take the pointsGrob

Hi There are new versions of the grid and lattice packages on CRAN: grid 0.2 and lattice 0.3-0 These packages are still _under development_ (they are in CRAN/src/contrib/Devel) There have been some bug fixes and, especially in lattice, there are lots of new features. Descriptions of the changes are included below. If you have any grid code, it may break under the new version because of a

Dear all, I feel like I've been reinventing the wheel with this code (implementing type = 'b' for Grid graphics), http://econum.umh.ac.be/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:graphics-grid:linesandpointsgrob Has anyone here attempted this with success before? I found suggestions of overlapping large white points to mask the lines but it's not ideal. I welcome any comments on the code.

Dear all, I'm trying to get a series of lattice levelplots to appear in viewports in a particular way but struggling to exert fine control over their appearence. There are two conditions: (a) I only want the levelplot to appear (I don't want axes, colour key, etc) in the viewport and (b) I want the levelplot to expand to the maximum allowable space in the viewport while observing

Still playing with Lattice... I want to use panel.text(x, y etc) but with x and y in plot coordinates (0,1), not user coordinates. I think if I had this problem with traditional graphics, I could use grconvertX to make the change. I did come across convertX {grid} but this doesn't seem to be what I need. Is there a function like grconvertX in Lattice, or is there a flag or some other

Hi: (Tried to find a bug report about this issue, but was unable to find it, let me know if this is a known issue) I have been working on an interface to highlight xyplot panels on mouse overs in JavaGD but I have stumbled with what seems to be a bug in trellis.focus. I am using R 2.8 with lattice 0.17-15 *** To replicate the bug: 1.- display an xyplot. For example, from the xyplot help page:

Hello everyone, I've been fiddling around with the snow and Rmpi packages on my new Intel Mac, and have run into a few problems. When I make a cluster on my machine, both slaves start up just fine, and everything works as expected. When I try to make a cluster including another networked machine it hangs. I've followed the suggestions at

Dear all, I'm puzzled by the behavior of stringHeight in the grid package. Consider the following test, library(grid) test <- function(lab="dog", ...){ g1 <- textGrob(lab) g2 <- rectGrob(height=grobHeight(g1), width=grobWidth(g1)) gg <- gTree(children=gList(g1,g2), ...) print(c("height:", convertUnit(stringHeight(lab), "mm",

Dear r-help, Now I am drawing graphs with xyplot function. In order to place a legend under the plots I use the key argument in the xyplot function. One of the 'key' components is 'divide', which defines a number of points on the each line of the legend. The default is 3 points. I would like a single point, so I set divide = 1. Call to xyplot didn't produce

Hi R users, I made a few research on how to convert inches into centimeters for graphics settings (especially width and height of the graphic device). Apart from the function layout() wich can be settled in centimeters using lcm(), I found that writing a function that convert centimeters into inches (i.e. x/2.54) was probably the best answer. Is there somewhere any parameter that could help

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 there ! I'm ploting graphics and I'd like to save them as a .jpeg file for example, but with a given size (in inches or cm). I tryed the function windows() but I think it just changes the size of the window and not the size of the graph that you're saving. Then I tryed with the function par(din=(width=... height=...) ) but I guess it's protected and I can't change the

Hi, how can I convert the unit "lines" of par("mar") into inches? par("mai") could help, but does not (see code below). I want to plot a curve in a predefined size in pdf (I add some margin space to the plot width&height, everything is in cm): pdf("test.pdf",width=(20+2+4)/2.54,height=(10+3+1)/2.54) plot(10:30,

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)) ##
