gridpattern (version 1.3.1)

patternFill: Create patterned fills by pattern name

Description

patternFill() returns grid::pattern() fill objects. It is a wrapper around patternGrob().

Usage

patternFill(
  ...,
  x = 0.5,
  y = 0.5,
  width = 1,
  height = 1,
  default.units = "npc",
  just = "centre",
  hjust = NULL,
  vjust = NULL,
  group = TRUE
)

Value

A grid::pattern() fill object.

Arguments

...

Passed to patternGrob().

x, y, width, height

The size of the grid::pattern() tile.

default.units

The default grid::unit() unit to use for x, y, width, and height.

just, hjust, vjust

The justification of the tile relative to its location.

group

A logical indicating whether the pattern is relative to the bounding box of the grob or whether it is relative to individual shapes within the grob. Ignored if R is less than version 4.2.

Examples

if (guess_has_R4.1_features("patterns") &&
    require("grid", quietly = TRUE)) {
  grid.newpage()
  stripe_fill <- patternFill("stripe", fill = c("red", "blue"))
  grid.circle(gp = gpar(fill = stripe_fill))
}
 
if (guess_has_R4.1_features("patterns") && 
    require("ggplot2", quietly = TRUE) &&
    (getRversion() >= "4.2")) {
  grid.newpage()
  weave_fill <- patternFill("weave", fill = "red", fill2 = "blue", 
                            colour = "transparent")
  hex_fill <- patternFill("polygon_tiling", type = "hexagonal", 
                          fill = c("black", "white", "grey"),
                          colour = "transparent")
  df <- data.frame(trt = c("a", "b"), outcome = c(1.9, 3.2))
  gg <- ggplot(df, aes(trt, outcome)) +
    geom_col(fill = list(weave_fill, hex_fill))
  plot(gg)
