\title{ Move or Draw to a Specified Position }
\description{
  Grid has the notion of a current location.  These functions
  sets that location.
}
\usage{
grid.move.to(x=0, y=0, default.units="npc", name=NULL, draw=TRUE, vp=NULL)
moveToGrob(x=0, y=0, default.units="npc", name=NULL, vp=NULL)
grid.line.to(x=1, y=1, default.units="npc", name=NULL, gp=gpar(),
             draw=TRUE, vp=NULL)
lineToGrob(x=1, y=1, default.units="npc", name=NULL, gp=gpar(), vp=NULL)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{A numeric value or a unit object specifying an x-value.}
  \item{y}{A numeric value or a unit object specifying a y-value.}
  \item{default.units}{A string indicating the default units to use
    if \code{x} or \code{y} are only given as numeric values.}  
  \item{name}{ A character identifier. }
  \item{draw}{A logical value indicating whether graphics output
    should be produced.}
  \item{gp}{An object of class \code{gpar}, typically the output
    from a call to the function \code{gpar}.  This is basically
    a list of graphical parameter settings.}
  \item{vp}{A Grid viewport object (or NULL).}
}
\details{
  Both functions create a move.to/line.to grob (a graphical object describing a
  move-to/line-to), but only \code{grid.move.to/line.to()}
  draws the move.to/line.to (and then only if \code{draw} is \code{TRUE}).  
}
\value{
  A move.to/line.to grob.
  \code{grid.move.to/line.to()} returns the value invisibly.
