<h2>Grid Graphics</h2>


<h3>Description</h3>

<p>
General information about the grid graphics package.
</p>


<h3>Details</h3>

<p>
Grid graphics provides an alternative to the standard R graphics.
The user is able to define arbitrary rectangular regions (called
<EM>viewports</EM>) on the graphics device and define a number of
coordinate systems for each region.  Drawing can be specified to occur
in any viewport using any of the available coordinate systems.
</p>
<p>
Grid graphics and standard R graphics do not mix!
</p>
<p>
Type <code>library(help = grid)</code> to see a list of (public)
Grid graphics functions.

## Diagram of a simple layout 
grid.show.layout(grid.layout(4,2,
                     heights=unit(rep(1, 4),
                                  c("lines", "lines", "lines", "null")),
                     widths=unit(c(1, 1), "inches")))
## Diagram of a sample viewport
grid.show.viewport(viewport(x=0.6, y=0.6,
                            w=unit(1, "inches"), h=unit(1, "inches")))
## A flash plotting example
grid.multipanel(vp=viewport(0.5, 0.5, 0.8, 0.8))
