These functions take a "Picture" object and either draw the
picture at several locations or create a grid graphical object
representing the picture (drawn at several locations).

grid.symbols(...)A "Picture" object.
A numeric vector or unit object specifying x-locations.
A numeric vector or unit object specifying y-locations.
A numeric vector or unit object specifying symbol sizes.
A string indicating the default units to use if x, y,
width, or height are only given as numeric vectors.
A function that takes a grid gpar object and returns a
(possibly modified) gpar object.
A character vector. Selects from one of three possible extensions
for drawing imported pictures. "none" means that no clipping
will be applied to the imported picture. "clipbbox" means
that clipping will be applied, but only to the bounding boxes of any
imported clipping paths. "gridSVG" means that gridSVG will be
used when drawing the "Picture" object, which enables the use
of complex clipping paths, gradients, patterns, etc. to be rendered
from an imported picture.
A character string. A prefix to add to referenced gridSVG content
(e.g. pattern fills). Only used when gridSVG is
TRUE. The reference label must be a unique reference label,
otherwise an error will result. This can be checked by calling
gridSVG's listSVGDefinitions(). When this parameter is
NULL, a prefix will automatically be generated but this is
not guaranteed to be unique.
For grid.symbols(), arguments to be passed onto
symbolsGrob(). For symbolsGrob(), additional
parameters to be passed onto the picture's grobify
method.
A character identifier.
A grid grob.
