R: Draw rectangles

grid.rect {grid} | R Documentation

## Draw rectangles

### Description

These functions create and draw rectangles.

### Usage

    grid.rect(x = unit(0.5, "npc"), y = unit(0.5, "npc"),
              width = unit(1, "npc"), height = unit(1, "npc"),
              just = "centre", hjust = NULL, vjust = NULL,
              default.units = "npc", name = NULL,
              gp=gpar(), draw = TRUE, vp = NULL)
    rectGrob(x = unit(0.5, "npc"), y = unit(0.5, "npc"),
             width = unit(1, "npc"), height = unit(1, "npc"),
             just = "centre", hjust = NULL, vjust = NULL,
             default.units = "npc", name = NULL,
             gp=gpar(), vp = NULL)

### Arguments

`x` | A numeric vector or unit object specifying x-location.
`y` | A numeric vector or unit object specifying y-location.
`width` | A numeric vector or unit object specifying width.
`height` | A numeric vector or unit object specifying height.
`just` | The justification of the rectangle relative to its (x, y) location. If there are two values, the first value specifies horizontal justification and the second value specifies vertical justification. Possible string values are: `"left"`, `"right"`, `"centre"`, `"center"`, `"bottom"`, and `"top"`. For numeric values, 0 means left alignment and 1 means right alignment.
`hjust` | A numeric vector specifying horizontal justification. If specified, overrides the `just` setting.
`vjust` | A numeric vector specifying vertical justification. If specified, overrides the `just` setting.
`default.units` | A string indicating the default units to use if `x`, `y`, `width`, or `height` are only given as numeric vectors.
`name` | A character identifier.
`gp` | An object of class `gpar`, typically the output from a call to the function `gpar`. This is basically a list of graphical parameter settings.
`draw` | A logical value indicating whether graphics output should be produced.
`vp` | A Grid viewport object (or NULL).

### Details

Both functions create a rect grob (a graphical object describing rectangles), but only `grid.rect` draws the rectangles (and then only if `draw` is `TRUE`).

### Value

A rect grob. `grid.rect` returns the value invisibly.
