This function provides an interactive version of the layout function. Once layout2 is called, the users get a grid he can click on (thanks to locator function).
Once the clicks have been achieved, the users can get the matrix created and/or use directly layout and then call the function.
interactiveLayout( n = 1, grain.x = 20, grain.y = grain.x, show = TRUE, now = TRUE )
| n | Number of plot regions desired, default is 1. |
|---|---|
| grain.x | Number of vertical lines drawn to select the size of the subplots regions. |
| grain.y | Number of horizontal lines drawn to select the size of the subplots regions. |
| show | logical. If TRUE |
| now | logical. If TRUE |
the matrix use to draw the layout is returned as an invisible output.
Arguments grain.x and grain.y control the aspect of the support
grid generated to locate the different panels. Once the grid popup, the user
must click 2n times to select the size of their n subplot. A panel is
delimited by two consecutive clicks: click 2p and clicks 2*p+1. The two cells
the user clicked on will then be used to compute the area allocated for
panel p. Note that the user is allowed to use the same area for several plots
but only this area will actually be used only by the last one.
As layout is ultimately called, layout2 has the same limits: currently 200 for the numbers of rows and columns and 10007 for the total number of cells.
