viewport_default {ggplot}R Documentation

Default viewports

Description

Set up named viewports that the other components use.

Usage

viewport_default(plot, guides=guides_basic(plot), scales=scales_default(plot))

Arguments

plot plot object
guides guides grobs
scales scales grobs

Details

This function sets up a vpTree in which all of the components of a plot will be placed. This allows for a clean separation between the generation of plot objects, and their placement, and means none of the components have to know anything about the others.

This function is responsible for the overall layout of the plot, ie where the panels, labels and axes go. In future, I will add more viewport layout functions so that you can have the same layout as, e.g., the trellis default.
