grid.figure: Draw a MetaPost figure.

In pmur002/metapost: Interface to 'MetaPost'

Description

Draw a MetaPost figure in grid graphics.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mppath'
figureGrob(figure,
                            x = unit(0.5, "npc"), y = unit(0.5, "npc"),
                            width = unit(1, "npc"), height = unit(1, "npc"),
                            just = "centre", 
                            default.units = "npc",
                            expansion = 0, xscale = NULL, yscale = NULL,
                            distort = FALSE, clip = FALSE,
                            gp = gpar(), name = NULL, digits=2, ...)
## S3 method for class 'mpfigure'
figureGrob(figure,
                              x = unit(0.5, "npc"), y = unit(0.5, "npc"),
                              width = unit(1, "npc"), height = unit(1, "npc"),
                              just = "centre",
                              default.units = "npc",
                              expansion = 0, xscale = NULL, yscale = NULL,
                              distort = FALSE, clip = FALSE,
                              gp = gpar(), name = NULL, ...)
grid.figure(...)

Arguments

figure	A MetaPost path, either unsolved (a description generated using knot etc), or solved (as produced by mptrace).
x, y, width, height, just, default.units	The location, size, and justification of the figure.
expansion	A factor to extend the scales of the figure (to create an empty margin around the figure).
xscale, yscale	Override the scales used to draw the figure; by default, these are chosen to encompass the figure (control points).
distort	Should the aspect ratio of the original figure be retained.
clip	Should drawing be clipped to the bounds of the figure (as defined by the scales).
gp	Graphical parameters (from a call to gpar).
name	A name for the grob that is created.
digits	The number of decimal places to use when writing floating point values in Figure code.
...	Arguments passed to figureGrob.

Value

figureGrob creates a "figuregrob" object.
