\grid{} is a low-level graphics system which provides a great deal
of control and flexibility in the appearance and arrangement of
graphical output.  \grid{} does not provide high-level functions which
create complete plots.  What it does provide is a basis for developing
such high-level functions (e.g., the \lattice{} and \CRANpkg{ggplot2}
packages), the facilities for customising and manipulating \lattice{}
output, the ability to produce high-level plots or non-statistical
images from scratch, and the ability to add sophisticated annotations
to the output from base graphics functions (see the \CRANpkg{gridBase}
package).

This document provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts
underlying the \grid{} package:  {\bf viewports}, {\bf units}, and
{\bf graphical parameters}.  There are also several examples to
demonstrate what can be achieved and how to achieve it.

The description of the fundamental \grid{} concepts is predicated on the
following approach to constructing a statistical graphic
(plot).  You must be able to:
\begin{enumerate}
\item create and control different graphical regions
and coordinate systems.
\item control which graphical region and
coordinate system graphical output goes into.
\item produce graphical output (lines, points, text, \ldots{})
including controlling its appearance (colour, line type, line width, \ldots{}).
\end{enumerate}

\section{Creating and Controlling Graphics Regions and Coordinate Systems}

In \grid{} there can be any number of graphics regions.  A graphics
region is referred to as a \emph{viewport} and is created using the
\code{viewport()} function.  A viewport can be positioned anywhere on
a graphics device (page, window, \ldots{}), it can be rotated, and it can
be clipped to.  The following code describes a viewport which is
centred within the page, and is half
the width of the page, one quarter of the height of the page,
and rotated $45^{\circ}$;  Figure \ref{figure:viewport}
shows a diagram of this viewport.

<<eval=FALSE>>=
viewport(x = 0.5, y = 0.5, width = 0.5, height = 0.25, angle=45)
<<viewport, echo=FALSE, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
grid.show.viewport(viewport(x = 0.5, y = 0.5, width = 0.5, height = 0.25,
                            angle = 45))
@
\begin{figure}[p]

}
\end{center}
\caption{
  \label{figure:viewport}
  A diagram of a simple \grid{} viewport (produced using the
  \code{grid.show.viewport()} function.}
\end{figure}

The object returned by the \code{viewport()} function is only a
\emph{description} of a graphics region.  A graphics region is only
created on a graphics device when a viewport is ``pushed'' onto that
device.  This is achieved using the \code{pushViewport()} function.
Each device has only one ``current viewport'' (by default this is the
entire device surface), but it maintains a ``tree'' of viewports that
have been pushed.  The current viewport is a node on the viewport
tree.  The \code{pushViewport()} function adds a viewport as a leaf of
the tree -- the previous ``current viewport'' becomes the parent of
this leaf and the new leaf becomes the current viewport.  The
\code{popViewport()} function prunes the current viewport (and all its
children) from the tree -- the parent of the pruned leaf becomes the
current viewport.  The function \code{upViewport()} acts like
\code{popViewport()} in terms of setting the current viewport, but
does not prune the previous ``current viewport''.  The
\code{downViewport()} function navigates down the tree to a viewport
which has been specified by name (it adds no new viewports to the
tree).  This means that there is always only one graphics region
selected to draw into, but it is possible to return to a previous
graphics region through the appropriate set of push/pop/up/down
operations.

As an example, the following code creates a graphics
region in the top-left corner of the page using \code{pushViewport()}.
This viewport is given the name \code{"vp1"}.
It then does some drawing and calls \code{upViewport()} to return
to the root of the viewport tree.  Next, it
creates another region in the bottom-right corner of the page
(again using \code{pushViewport()}) and does
some drawing there.  Finally, it performs an \code{upViewport()}
to the root of the tree and a \code{downViewport()} to
return to the first graphics region and
does some more drawing there (see Figure \ref{figure:viewports}).

<<pushviewports, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
grid.rect(gp = gpar(lty = "dashed"))
vp1 <- viewport(x = 0, y = 0.5, w = 0.5, h = 0.5,
                just = c("left", "bottom"), name = "vp1")
vp2 <- viewport(x = 0.5, y = 0, w = 0.5, h = 0.5,
                just = c("left", "bottom"))
pushViewport(vp1)
grid.rect(gp = gpar(col = "grey"))
grid.text("Some drawing in graphics region 1", y = 0.8)
upViewport()
pushViewport(vp2)
grid.rect(gp = gpar(col = "grey"))
grid.text("Some drawing in graphics region 2", y = 0.8)
upViewport()
downViewport("vp1")
grid.text("MORE drawing in graphics region 1", y = 0.2)
popViewport()

}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{figure:viewports}
        Defining and drawing in multiple graphics regions.}
\end{figure}
@
When several viewports are pushed onto the viewport tree, leaf
viewports are located and sized within the context of their parent
viewports.  The following code gives an example;  a viewport is defined
which is one-quarter the size of its parent (half the width and half the
height), and this viewport is pushed twice. The first time it
gets pushed the parent is the root of the viewport tree (which is the
entire device) so it is quarter of the size of the page.
The second time the viewport is pushed,
it is quarter of the size of \emph{its parent viewport}.
Figure \ref{figure:vpstack} shows the output of these
commands.

<<vpstack, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
grid.rect(gp = gpar(lty = "dashed"))
vp <- viewport(width = 0.5, height = 0.5)
pushViewport(vp)
grid.rect(gp = gpar(col = "grey"))
grid.text("quarter of the page", y = 0.85)
pushViewport(vp)
grid.rect()
grid.text("quarter of the\nprevious viewport")
popViewport(2)

}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{figure:vpstack}
        The result of pushing the same viewport onto the viewport
stack twice.}
\end{figure}
@

Each viewport has a number of coordinate systems available.  The full
set is described in Table \ref{table:coords}, but there are four main
types: absolute coordinates (e.g., \code{"inches"}, \code{"cm"}) allow
locations and sizes in terms of physical coordinates -- there is no
dependence on the size of the page; normalised coordinates (e.g.,
\code{"npc"}) allow locations and sizes as a proportion of the page
size (or the current viewport); relative coordinates (i.e.,
\code{"native"}) allow locations and sizes relative to a user-defined
set of x- and y-ranges; referential coordinates (e.g.,
\code{"strwidth"}) where locations and sizes are based on the size of
some other graphical object.

It is possible to specify the coordinate system
for relative coordinates, but all other coordinate systems
are implicitly defined based on the location and size of the viewport
and/or the size of other graphical objects.

\section{Directing Graphics Output into Different \\Graphics Regions
and Coordinate Systems}

Graphics output is always relative to the current viewport (on the
current device).  Selecting which region you want is a matter of
push/pop/up/downing the appropriate viewports.  However, that is not
all;  every viewport has a number of coordinate systems associated with
it, so it is also necessary to select the coordinate system that you
want to work with.

The selection of which coordinate system to use within the current
viewport is made using the \code{unit()} function.  The
\code{unit()} function creates an object which is a combination
of a value and a coordinate system (plus  some extra
information for certain coordinate systems).  Here are some examples
from the \code{help(unit)} page:

<<units>>=
unit(1, "npc")
unit(1:3/4, "npc")
unit(1:3/4, "npc")[2]
unit(1:3/4, "npc") + unit(1, "inches")
min(unit(0.5, "npc"), unit(1, "inches"))
unit.c(unit(0.5, "npc"), unit(2, "inches") + unit(1:3/4, "npc"),
       unit(1, "strwidth", "hi there"))
@
Notice that unit objects are treated much like numeric vectors.  You
can index a unit object, it is possible to do simple arithmetic
(including \code{min} and \code{max}), and there are several
unit-versions of common functions (e.g., \code{unit.c},
\code{unit.rep}, and \code{unit.length}; \code{unit.pmin}, and
\code{unit.pmax})).

\grid{} functions that have arguments specifying locations and sizes
typically assume a default coordinate system is being used.  Most
often this default is \code{"npc"}.  In other words, if a raw numeric
value, \code{x}, is specified this is implicitly taken to mean
\code{unit(x, "npc")}.  The \code{viewport()} function is one that
assumes \code{"npc"} coordinates, so in all of the viewport examples
to this point, we have only used \code{"npc"} coordinates to position
viewports within the page or within each other.  It is also possible
to position viewports using any of the coordinate systems described in
Table \ref{table:coords}.

As an example, the following code makes use of \code{"npc"},
\code{"native"}, \code{"inches"}, and \code{"strwidth"}
coordinates.  It first pushes a viewport with a user-defined
x-scale, then pushes another viewport which is centred at the x-value
60 and half-way up the first viewport, and
is 3 inches high\footnote{If you want to check the figure, the scaling
factor is $3.5/6$ (i.e., the rectangle in the figure should be 1.75\code{"} or
3.94cm high).}  and as wide as the text ``coordinates for everyone''.
Figure \ref{figure:vpcoords} shows the resulting output.

<<vpcoords, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
pushViewport(viewport(y = unit(3, "lines"), width = 0.9, height = 0.8,
                      just = "bottom", xscale = c(0, 100)))
grid.rect(gp = gpar(col = "grey"))
grid.xaxis()
pushViewport(viewport(x = unit(60, "native"), y = unit(0.5, "npc"),
                      width = unit(1, "strwidth", "coordinates for everyone"),
                      height = unit(3, "inches")))
grid.rect()
grid.text("coordinates for everyone")
popViewport(2)

\subsection{Layouts}

\grid{} provides an alternative method for positioning viewports
within each other based on \emph{layouts}\footnote{The primary reference
for layouts is \cite{murrell:1999}.  Layouts in \grid{} represent
an extension of the idea to allow a greater range of units for
specifying row heights and column widths. \grid{} also differs in the
way that children of the layout specify their location within the layout.}.
A layout may be specified
for any viewport.  Any viewport pushed immediately after a viewport
containing a layout may specify its location with respect to that
layout.  In the following simple example, a viewport is pushed
with  a layout
with 4 rows and 5 columns, then another viewport is pushed which
occupies the second and third columns of the third row of the layout.

<<vplayout, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(4, 5)))
grid.rect(gp = gpar(col = "grey"))
grid.segments(c(1:4/5, rep(0, 3)), c(rep(0, 4), 1:3/4),
              c(1:4/5, rep(1, 3)), c(rep(1, 4), 1:3/4),
              gp = gpar(col = "grey"))
pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = 2:3, layout.pos.row = 3))
grid.rect(gp = gpar(lwd = 3))
popViewport(2)
@
\begin{figure}[tbp]
\begin{center}
{
\includegraphics[width=3.5in, height=3.5in]{grid-vplayout}
}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{figure:vplayout}
        A viewport positioned using a layout.}
\end{figure}

Layouts introduce a special sort of unit called \code{"null"}.  These
can be used in layouts to specify relative column-widths or
row-heights.  In the following, slightly more complex, example, the
layout specifies something similar to a standard plot arrangement;
there are bottom and left margins 3 lines of text wide, top and right
margins 1cm wide, and two rows and columns within these margins where
the bottom row is twice the height of the top row (see Figure
\ref{figure:vplayoutcomplex}).

<<layoutcomplex, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
grid.show.layout(grid.layout(4, 4, widths = unit(c(3, 1, 1, 1),
                             c("lines", "null", "null", "cm")),
                             heights = c(1, 1, 2, 3),
                             c("cm", "null", "null", "lines")))

\caption{\label{figure:vplayoutcomplex}

\section{Producing Graphics Output}

\grid{} provides a standard set of graphical primitives: lines,
text, points, rectangles, polygons, and circles.  There are also
two higher level components:  x- and y-axes.  Table \ref{table:primitives}
lists the \grid{} functions that produce these primitives.

{\bf NOTE:} all of these graphical primitives are available in
all graphical regions and coordinate systems.

There used to be (prior to R 2.3.0) a separate \code{grid.arrows()}
function, but this has been superseded by an \code{arrow} argument
to the line-drawing primitives (lines, segments, line-to).

\begin{table}[h!]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l l} \hline
\code{grid.text} & Can specify angle of rotation. \\
\code{grid.rect} &  \\
\code{grid.circle} &  \\
\code{grid.polygon} &  \\
\code{grid.points} & Can specify type of plotting symbol. \\
\code{grid.lines} &  \\
\code{grid.segments} &  \\
\code{grid.grill} & Convenience function for drawing grid lines \\
\code{grid.move.to} &  \\
\code{grid.line.to} &  \\
& \\
\code{grid.xaxis} & Top or bottom axis \\
\code{grid.yaxis} & Left or right axis \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{table:primitives}
         \grid{} graphical primitives.}
\end{table}


\subsection{Controlling the Appearance of Graphics Output}

\grid{} recognises a fixed set of graphical parameters for modifying
the appearance of graphical output (see Table \ref{table:gpars}).

\begin{table}[h!]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l l} \hline
\code{col} & colour of lines, text, \ldots{} \\
\code{fill} & colour for filling rectangles, circles, polygons, \ldots{} \\
\code{lwd} & line width \\
\code{lty} & line type \\
\code{fontsize} & The size of text (in points) \\
\code{fontface} &  The font face (bold, italic, \ldots{}) \\
\code{fontfamily} & The font family \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{table:gpars}
         \grid{} graphical parameters.}
\end{table}

Graphical parameter settings may be specified for both viewports
and graphical objects.  A graphical parameter setting for a viewport
will hold for all graphical output within that viewport {\em and} for
all viewports subsequently pushed onto the viewport stack, {\em unless}
the graphical object or viewport specifies a different parameter
setting.

A description of graphical parameter settings is created using
the \code{gpar()} function, and this description is associated with a
viewport or a graphical object via the \code{gp} argument.
The following code demonstrates the effect of graphical parameter
settings (see Figure \ref{figure:gpar}).

<<gpar, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
pushViewport(viewport(gp = gpar(fill = "grey", fontface = "italic")))
grid.rect()
grid.rect(width = 0.8, height = 0.6, gp = gpar(fill = "white"))
grid.text(paste("This text and the inner rectangle",
                "have specified their own gpar settings", sep = "\n"),
          y = 0.75, gp = gpar(fontface = "plain"))
grid.text(paste("This text and the outer rectangle",
                "accept the gpar settings of the viewport", sep = "\n"),
          y = 0.25)
popViewport()

\caption{\label{figure:gpar}
        The effect of different graphical parameter settings.}
\end{figure}

\clearpage
\section{Examples}

The remaining sections provide some code examples of the use
of \grid{}.

The first example constructs a simple scatterplot from first
principles.
Just like in base graphics, it is quite straightforward
to create a simple plot by hand.  The following code produces the equivalent
of a  standard \code{plot(1:10)} (see Figure \ref{figure:simpleplot}).

<<simpleplot, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
grid.rect(gp = gpar(lty = "dashed"))
x <- y <- 1:10
pushViewport(plotViewport(c(5.1, 4.1, 4.1, 2.1)))
pushViewport(dataViewport(x, y))
grid.rect()
grid.xaxis()
grid.yaxis()
grid.points(x, y)
grid.text("1:10", x = unit(-3, "lines"), rot = 90)
popViewport(2)
@
\begin{figure}[p]
\begin{center}
{
\includegraphics[width=3.5in, height=3.5in]{grid-simpleplot}
}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{figure:simpleplot}
        The grid equivalent of \code{plot(1:10)}.}
\end{figure}

Now consider a more complex example, where we create a barplot
with a legend (see Figure \ref{figure:barplot}).
There are two main parts to this because
grid has no predefined barplot function;  the construction of the
barplot will itself be instructive, so we will start with just that.

The data to be plotted are as follows:  we have four measures to
represent at four levels;  the data are in a matrix with the measures
for each level in a column.

<<bpdata>>=
barData <- matrix(sample(1:4, 16, replace = TRUE), ncol = 4)
@
We will use colours to differentiate
the measures.

<<barconstraint>>=
boxColours <- 1:4
@
We create the barplot within a function so that we can easily
reproduce it when we combine it with the legend.

<<bpfun>>=
bp <- function(barData) {
    nbars <- dim(barData)[2]
    nmeasures <- dim(barData)[1]
    barTotals <- rbind(rep(0, nbars), apply(barData, 2, cumsum))
    barYscale <- c(0, max(barTotals)*1.05)
    pushViewport(plotViewport(c(5, 4, 4, 1),
                              yscale = barYscale,
                              layout = grid.layout(1, nbars)))
    grid.rect()
    grid.yaxis()
    for (i in 1:nbars) {
        pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = i, yscale = barYscale))
        grid.rect(x = rep(0.5, nmeasures),
                  y = unit(barTotals[1:nmeasures, i], "native"),
                  height = unit(diff(barTotals[,i]), "native"),
                  width = 0.8, just = "bottom", gp = gpar(fill = boxColours))
        popViewport()
    }
    popViewport()
}
@

Now we turn our attention to the legend.  We need some labels
and we will enforce the constraint that the boxes in the legend should
be 0.5\code{"} square:

<<legendlabels>>=
legLabels <- c("Group A", "Group B", "Group C", "Something Longer")
boxSize <- unit(0.5, "inches")
@

The following draws the legend elements in a column, with each
element consisting of a box with a label beneath.

<<legfun>>=
leg <- function(legLabels) {
    nlabels <- length(legLabels)
    pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(nlabels, 1)))
    for (i in 1:nlabels) {
        pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.row = i))
        grid.rect(width = boxSize, height = boxSize, just = "bottom",
                  gp = gpar(fill = boxColours[i]))
        grid.text(legLabels[i], y = unit(0.5, "npc") - unit(1, "lines"))
        popViewport()
    }
    popViewport()
}
@

Now that we have the two components, we can arrange them together to
form a complete image.  Notice that we can perform some calculations
to make sure that we leave enough room for the legend, including
1 line of text as left and right margins.  We also impose top and bottom
margins on the legend to match the plot margins.

<<barplot, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
grid.rect(gp = gpar(lty = "dashed"))
legend.width <- max(unit(rep(1, length(legLabels)),

\section{\grid{} and \lattice{}}

The \lattice{} package is built on top of \grid{} and provides a
quite sophisticated example of writing high-level plotting functions
using \grid{}.  Because \lattice{} consists of \grid{} calls, it is
possible to both add \grid{} output to \lattice{} output, and
\lattice{} output to \grid{} output.

\subsection*{Adding \grid{} to \lattice{}}

Panel functions in \lattice{} can include \grid{} calls.
The following example adds a horizontal line at 0 to a standard
\code{xyplot} (see Figure \ref{figure:trellispanel}):

<<echo=FALSE, results=hide>>=
library(lattice)
<<trellisdata, echo=FALSE, eval=FALSE>>=
x <- rnorm(100)
y <- rnorm(100)
g <- sample(1:8, 100, replace = TRUE)
@
% This is the code the reader sees
% This WILL get run by checking code, but by then lattice will be
% installed so it will be ok
<<trellispanelplot, eval=FALSE>>=
xyplot(y ~ x | g, panel = function(x, y) {
    panel.xyplot(x, y);
    grid.lines(unit(c(0, 1), "npc"), unit(0, "native"),
               gp = gpar(col = "grey"))
})
@
% This generates the actual plot
<<trellispanel, echo=FALSE, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
<<trellisdata>>
<<trellispanelplot>>
@

{
\includegraphics[width=3.5in, height=3.5in]{grid-trellispanel}
}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{figure:trellispanel}
        A \lattice{} panel function using \grid{}.}
\end{figure}
@
The following  example writes a left-justified label in each strip
(see Figure \ref{figure:trellisstrip}):

<<trellisstripplot, eval=FALSE>>=
xyplot(y ~ x | g, strip = function(which.given, which.panel, ...) {
    grid.text(paste("Variable ", which.given, ": Level ",
                    which.panel[which.given], sep = ""),
              unit(1, "mm"), .5, just = "left")
})
<<trellisstrip, echo=FALSE, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
<<trellisdata>>
<<trellisstripplot>>

}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{figure:trellisstrip}
        A \lattice{} strip function using \grid{}.}
\end{figure}

\subsection*{Adding \lattice{} to \grid{}}

It is also possible to use a \lattice{} plot as an element of
a \grid{} image.  The following example splits up the page
so that there is an \code{xyplot} beside a panel of text
(see Figure \ref{figure:trellisgrid}).  First of all, the
lattice plot is created, but
not drawn.  \grid{} is used to create some regions and the lattice
plot is drawn into one of those regions.

<<trellisgridplot, eval=FALSE>>=
someText <- paste("A panel of text", "produced using", "raw grid code",
                  "that could be used", "to describe",
                  "the plot", "to the right.", sep = "\n")
latticePlot <- xyplot(y ~ x | g, layout = c(2, 4))
grid.rect(gp = gpar(lty = "dashed"))
pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(1, 2,
                      widths = unit.c(unit(1, "strwidth", someText) +
                      unit(2, "cm"),
                      unit(1, "null")))))
pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = 1))
grid.rect(gp = gpar(fill = "light grey"))
grid.text(someText,
          x = unit(1, "cm"), y = unit(1, "npc") - unit(1, "inches"),
          just = c("left", "top"))
popViewport()
pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = 2))
print(latticePlot, newpage = FALSE)
popViewport(2)
<<trellisgrid, echo=FALSE, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=6, height=6, include=FALSE>>=
<<trellisdata>>
<<trellisgridplot>>
