qgrid: Create a background grid layer

Description

A layer with gray background and white grid lines corresponding to axis tick marks. Minor grid lines are optional and thinner.

Usage

qgrid(parent = NULL, meta = NULL, xat, yat, xlim, ylim, minor = "xy", ...)

Arguments

parent

the parent layer (default to be NULL, which means creating an independent layer with no parents, but it can be added to a parent layer using the approach parent[i, j] <- child_layer)

meta

NULL means to use xat, yat, otherwise it should be an object containing child elements xat and yat, and it will override the next two arguments; besides, the limits of the layer will be set to meta$limits so this element should be present as well

xat

locations to draw vertical grid lines

yat

locations to draw horizontal grid lines

xlim

the x-axis limits (c(x0, x1))

ylim

the y-axis limits (c(y0, y1))

minor

defines which minor lines to draw: 'x': only on the x-axis; 'y': only on the y-axis; 'xy': both x and y minor grid lines; '': no minor grid lines

...

other arguments passed to qlayer

Value

a layer object

    1), limits = l)
r[1, 1] <- g  # must add the grid layer FIRST, then the plot layer
r[1, 1] <- m
