Usage

grid.picture(...)
pictureGrob(picture, x = 0.5, y = 0.5,
            width = 1, height = 1, just = "centre",
            exp = 0.05, xscale = NULL, yscale = NULL,
            distort = FALSE,
            FUN = grobify, ..., name = NULL, gp = gpar())

Value

A grid gTree.

Arguments

picture

A "Picture" object.

x

A single numeric value or unit object specifying an x-value.

y

A single numeric value or unit object specifying a y-value.

width

A single numeric value or unit object specifying a width.

height

A single numeric value or unit object specifying a height.

The justification of the picture relative to its (x, y) location. If there are two values, the first value specifes horizontal justification and the second value specifies vertical justification. Possible string values are: "left", "right", "centre", "center", "bottom", and "top". For numeric values, 0 means left alignment and 1 means right alignment.

exp

An expansion factor; determines whether any space is left between the extent of the picture and the bounding rectangle it is drawn within.

xscale

A numeric vector of length two indicating the minimum and maximum on the x-scale.

yscale

A numeric vector of length two indicating the minimum and maximum on the y-scale.

distort

A logical value indicating whether the image should preserve its aspect ratio or distort to fit the area it is being drawn within.

FUN

The function used to convert paths within the picture to grid grobs.

...

For grid.picture arguments to be passed to pictureGrob. For pictureGrob, arguments to be passed to grobify.

name
