layout2position: Transform a layout matrix into a position one

In adegraphics: An S4 Lattice-Based Package for the Representation of Multivariate Data

Transform a layout matrix into a position one

Description

This function transforms layout's informations into a position matrix useful for ADEgS and for lattice graphics.

Usage

layout2position(mat, widths = rep(1, NCOL(mat)), heights = rep(1, NROW(mat)), ng, 
square = FALSE)

Arguments

mat	a matrix indicating the location of figures to display (each value must be 0 or a positive integer) or a two-length vector indicating the number of rows and columns in the corresponding layout.
widths	a vector of relative values for the columns' widths on the device. Their sum must be equal to the number of columns.
heights	a vector of relative values for the rows' heights on the device. Their sum must be equal to the number of rows.
ng	a value for the number of positions needed (i.e. the number of graphics to plot)
square	a logical indicating if the graphics is an isometric plot

Value

A four-columns matrix indicating the coordinates (in normalized parent coordinates npc) of the top-right and bottom-left hand corners of each displayed figure on the device.

Note

This function is strongly inspired by the layout function in graphics package.
