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 R-users, I am trying to use the grid.text and expression functions to display several character strings and plotmath text on a viewport. Some strings can include a variable portion (PI.limits in the following example), which I thought could be implemented by combining the bquote and the expression functions. Unfortunately, my expressions do not seem to be evaluated. I would greatly

Hello R friends, I get quite confused in using the grid graphic function grid.pack( ) and grid.frame ( ). Here is a simple example: library(grid) grid.frame(name="frame1") grid.pack("frame1",rectGrob(width=unit(0.5,"npc"), height=unit(0.5,"npc"), gp=gpar(col="red"))) what I expect is a rectangle with half the default device's

Hi, I recently created a function which uses grid with a viewport constructed with grid.layout() to position four plots on a plot device. My question is what's the best way to programatically traverse each element of the viewport? The grid is 5x5 and the four plots occupy positions (2,2), (4,2), (2,4), and (4,4). Here's the viewport code: pushViewport( viewport(

Dear R-users, For the past few days, I have been trying to find the reason why some of my plots were showing symbols of different sizes, while I thought I was using the same .cex arguments everywhere. The problem is exemplified by the following example code where the xyplot and grid.points functions are used. The scaling factor is set to 0.84 in both the functions settings, but one can see

Hi Deepayan and everyone, I need to add a common legend to a group of latice graphs, I have tried different ways using viewport and grid.draw without success. Here is what I have: plot.new() library(grid) library('IDPmisc') print(plot1, split=c(1,1,2,4), more=TRUE) print(plot4, split=c(2,1,2,4), more=TRUE) print(plot2, split=c(1,2,2,4), more=TRUE) print(plot5, split=c(2,2,2,4),

Short form: How do I transform the output of grid.locator() (or grid.locator(unit='npc')) to the native (or npc) coordinates of a viewport other than the top-level viewport? Thanks in advance. -Ben Long form: I would like the user to be able to click anywhere on the R graphics window. I would then like to figure out which leaf viewport the user clicked in and compute the native

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 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",

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 =

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"),

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

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

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",

Dear R-users, I have got the following problem. I need to create 4x2 arrays of xyplot's on several pages. The plots are created within a loop and plotted using the print function. It seems that I cannot find the proper grid syntax with my viewports, and the more/newpage arguments. The following script is a simplification but hopefully will suffice to illustrate my problem. Any suggestion

Dear R Users, I am quite surprised to see that mtext gives different results when it is used with 'pairs' and with "plot'. In the two following codes, it seems that the 'at' argument in mtext doesn't consider the same unit system. I would appreciate your comments on this issue. Sebastien ##### Pairs mydata<-data.frame(x=1:10,y=1:10) par(cex.main=1,

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 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

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.)
