R Documentation

Draw Typeset Glyphs

Description

These functions create and draw a set of typeset glyphs.

Usage

grid.glyph(...)
glyphGrob(glyphInfo,
          x=.5, y=.5, default.units="npc",
          hjust="centre", vjust="centre",
          gp=gpar(), vp=NULL, name=NULL)

Arguments

`glyphInfo`	An `"RGlyphInfo"` object from a call to `glyphInfo`.
`x`	A numeric vector or unit object specifying x-location.
`y`	A numeric vector or unit object specifying y-location.
`default.units`	A string indicating the default units to use if `x`, `y`, `width`, or `height` are only given as numeric vectors.
`hjust`, `vjust`	The justification of the glyphs relative to the (`x`, `y`) location. Can be `character` (e.g., `"left"`), numeric (e.g., `0`), or the result of a call to `glyphJust`.
`name`	A character identifier.
`gp`	An object of class `"gpar"`, typically the output from a call to the function `gpar`. This is basically a list of graphical parameter settings.
`vp`	A Grid viewport object (or NULL).
`...`	Arguments passed to `glyphGrob()`.

Details

Both functions create a glyph grob (a graphical object describing glyphs), but only grid.glyph draws the glyphs.

Value

A glyph grob.
