<h2>Move or Draw to a Specified Position</h2>


<h3>Description</h3>

<p>
Grid has the notion of a current location.  These functions
sets that location.
</p>


<h3>Usage</h3>

<pre>
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",
             arrow = NULL, name = NULL,
             gp = gpar(), draw = TRUE, vp = NULL)

lineToGrob(x = 1, y = 1, default.units = "npc", arrow = NULL,
           name = NULL, gp = gpar(), vp = NULL)
</pre>


<h3>Arguments</h3>

<table summary="R argblock">
<tr valign="top"><td><code>x</code></td>
<td>
A numeric value or a unit object specifying an x-value.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>y</code></td>
<td>
A numeric value or a unit object specifying a y-value.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>default.units</code></td>
<td>
A string indicating the default units to use
if <code>x</code> or <code>y</code> are only given as numeric values.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>arrow</code></td>
<td>
A list describing arrow heads to place at either end
of the line, as produced by the <code>arrow</code> function.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>name</code></td>
<td>
A character identifier. </td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>draw</code></td>
<td>
A logical value indicating whether graphics output
should be produced.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>gp</code></td>
<td>
An object of class <code>gpar</code>, typically the output
from a call to the function <code>gpar</code>.  This is basically
a list of graphical parameter settings.</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>vp</code></td>
<td>
A Grid viewport object (or NULL).</td></tr>
</table>

<h3>Details</h3>

<p>
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()</code>
draws the move.to/line.to (and then only if <code>draw</code> is <code>TRUE</code>).
</p>


<h3>Value</h3>

<p>
A move.to/line.to grob.
<code>grid.move.to/line.to()</code> returns the value invisibly.</p>
