        margin=0, rot=0,
        default.units = "npc",
        hjust="centre", vjust="centre",
        dpi=NA,
        page=1,
        packages=NULL,
        engine=getOption("xdvir.engine"),
        fontLib=getOption("xdvir.fontLib"),

grid.dvi(...)
render(...)

Arguments

dvi	A "DVI" object, as produced by readDVI, or a "DVIfile" object, as produced by typeset, or the name of a DVI file, or a list containing some combination of all three.
x, y	Numeric values or units specifying where to draw the output.
margin	Numeric values or units specifying margins (in the order bottom, left, top, right). Recycled if necessary.
rot	Rotation angle (in degrees).
default.units	Units to use if x or y are numeric.
hjust, vjust	Justification of the output relative to the x/y location.
dpi	Resolution (dots per inch) for rendering.
page	Which page should be drawn.
engine	The TeX engine that should be used to render the DVI file (see Details).
fontLib	The font libraary the should be used to query fonts and glyphs.
packages	The LaTeX packages to be used in rendering the DVI.
name	Character value giving name for the grob.
gp	Graphical parameter settings.
vp	A viewport or NULL.
...	Arguments specific to methods of dviGrob.

Details

If the engine is NULL (the default), one is chosen based on the engine attribute of the dvi input (if an engine of that name has been registered).

If the engine is specified, but does not match the engine attribute of the dvi then, if the dvi engine was guessed the engine will be used, otherwise the conflict will result in an error.

render() is an alias for grid.dvi().

Value

A "DVIgrob" object.
