| grid.edit {grid} | R Documentation |
Changes the value of one of the slots of a grob and redraws the grob.
grid.edit(gPath, ..., strict = FALSE, grep = FALSE, global = FALSE,
allDevices = FALSE, redraw = TRUE)
editGrob(grob, gPath = NULL, ..., strict = FALSE, grep = FALSE,
global = FALSE)
grob |
A grob object. |
... |
Zero or more named arguments specifying new slot values. |
gPath |
A gPath object. For grid.edit this
specifyies a grob on the display list. For editGrob this
specifies a descendant of the specified grob. |
strict |
A boolean indicating whether the gPath must be matched exactly. |
grep |
A boolean indicating whether the gPath should
be treated as a regular expression. Values are recycled across
elements of the gPath (e.g., c(TRUE, FALSE) means
that every odd element of the gPath will be treated as
a regular expression).
|
global |
A boolean indicating whether the function should affect
just the first match of the gPath, or whether all matches
should be affected.
|
allDevices |
A boolean indicating whether all open devices should be searched for matches, or just the current device. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. |
redraw |
A logical value to indicate whether to redraw the grob. |
editGrob copies the specified grob and returns a modified
grob.
grid.edit destructively modifies a grob on the display list.
If redraw
is TRUE it then redraws everything to reflect the change.
Both functions call editDetails to allow a grob to perform
custom actions and validDetails to check that the modified grob
is still coherent.
editGrob returns a grob object; grid.edit returns NULL.
