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, 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 everyone,I'm trying to figure out how to use gPath and the documentation is not very helpful :( I have the following plot object: plot-surrounds:: background plot.gTree.378:: background guide.gTree.355:: (background.rect.345, minor-horizontal.segments.347, minor-vertical.segments.349, major-horizontal.segments.351, major-vertical.segments.353) guide.gTree.356::

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 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

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)) ##

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, 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( >

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

Hello. First: R 2.3.1 on Windows XP. I am trying to add information (sample size) to the Trellis strips which I am successful using the trellis.focus function with the default Windows device. However, I typically use the postscript device as I use LaTeX and \includegraphic for incorporating graphs into stat reviews. Here's some example code (apologies for the lack of creativity and

Hi, Is it possible to diagonally fill a rectangle with a color gradient? I noticed that the gradient.rect of plotrix could fill a rect either up and down or from side to side. I am looking for something similar but fills diagonally instead, e.g., from the upper left corner to the bottom right. Does anyone know how to do it in R? Thanks, -- Tom [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I've rolled up R-2.0.0.tar.gz a short while ago. This is a new version with a number of new features. See below for the details. As was the case with R 1.0.0, this new version represents a coming of age more than a radical change to R. We do plan to celebrate the new major version with press releases and such. The release will be available from

I'm working on a package to produce graphic displays of 2- and 3-way tables and need some help/advice on how to simplify the specification of a complex argument that gives the drawing details for each cell of the table. Prototypes of two functions, 'tableplot' and 'cellgram' are given below. The essential idea is that for a given table ('values'), the cells can be be

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"))

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()

Hi everyone, it looks like geom_ribbon removes missing values and plots a single ribbon over the whole interval of x values. However, I'd rather want it to act like geom_line, that is, interrupt the ribbon for the interval of missing values and continue once there are new values. Here's an example: library(ggplot2) df <- data.frame( date = seq(from = as.Date("2010-05-15"),
