Hi

You need to be careful - you are grid.echo()ing (and then grid.grab()ing) on full-size pages and then redrawing in half-height pages, which is why you lose the x-axis labels in the result from grid.arrange().

This gives a better result (grid.echo() directly in the half-height viewports) ...

## grid.newpage()
pushViewport(viewport(y=.5, height=.5, just="bottom"))
grid.echo(function() plot(x, y), newpage=FALSE)
upViewport()
pushViewport(viewport(y=0, height=.5, just="bottom"))
grid.echo(function() plot(a, b), newpage=FALSE)
upViewport()

I have been looking for an example that would demonstrate what an echoGrob() function would be for and I think your grid.arrange() example might be what I need - thanks for posting this!

I have dose response data I have analyzed with the 'drc' package.
Using plot() works great.  I want to arrange my plots and source
data on a single page.  I think 'gridExtra' is the usual package for
this.

I could use plot() and par(mfrow=...), but then I can't put the source
data table on the page.

gridExtra provides grid.table() which makes nice graphical tables. It
doesn't work with par(mfrow=...), but has the function grid.arrange()
instead.

Unfortunately, grid.arrange() doesn't accept plot(). It does work with
qplot() from 'ggplot2'.  Unfortunately, qplot() doesn't know how to
deal with data of class drc.

I'm at a loss on how to proceed here.  Any thoughts?


Hi,

If you grab the plots as grobs, you can arrange them using grid.arrange()

library(gridGraphics)
library(gridExtra)

grab <- function{
     grid.echo()
     grid.grab()
}

x <- rnorm(100, 1, 2)
y <- rnorm(100, 0, 0.5)

plot(x,y)
p <- grab()

a <- rnorm(20, 0, 1)
b <- rnorm(20, 1, 2)

plot(a, b)
q <- grab()

grid.arrange(p, q)
