Hi Apologies for the slow response.
This part of the problem is I think just a bit of a misunderstanding. The diagram drawn by grid.show.viewport() is drawn within a *subset* of the current page (or viewport), to allow room for labelling, which is why your subsequent "real" viewports do not align with the diagram. If you change your grid.show.layout() call to the following (which "removes" the normal margin used by grid.show.layout()) ...
grid.show.layout(gl, vp=viewport(width=1.25, height=1.25)) ... then you should find your viewports line up with the diagram properly. Paul On 20/10/12 19:10, Marius Hofert wrote:
In the meanwhile, I found a more minimal example which shows the problem (just change 'inch' to TRUE to see the difference): require(grid) inch <- FALSE # TRUE d <- if(inch) 5 else 1 pspc <- d*c(0.3, 0.3) # width, height of panels spc <- d*c(0.05, 0.05) # width, height of space axlabspc <- d*c(0.1, 0.1) # width y label, height x label labspc <- d*c(0.05, 0.05) # width label boxes, height label boxes par. <- par(no.readonly=TRUE) gl <- grid.layout(5, 5, default.units=if(inch) "inches" else "npc", widths=c(axlabspc[1], pspc[1], spc[1], pspc[1], labspc[1]), heights=c(labspc[2], pspc[2], spc[2], pspc[2], axlabspc[2])) grid.show.layout(gl) pushViewport(viewport(layout=gl)) for(i in 1:2) { for(j in 1:2) { pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.row=2*i, layout.pos.col=2*j, name="foo")) grid.rect() upViewport() } } par(par.) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
