customLayout
is a simple extension of the basic layout
function from R
but it works not only with base
and grid
graphics systems, but also with PowerPoint slides using officer
package.
customLayout
is available on CRAN:
install.packages("customLayout")
The development version can be installed from GitHub using devtools
:
library(devtools)
install_github("zzawadz/customLayout")
You can create layouts in the using the same syntax as in the base layout
function:
library(customLayout)
lay <- lay_new(
matrix(1:4, nc = 2),
widths = c(3, 2),
heights = c(2, 1))
lay_show(lay)
But the main strength of this package is in combining created layouts with specific ratio:
# lay will be 3 times wider that lay2
# all ascects in lay and lay2 will be preserved
cl = lay_bind_col(lay, lay2, widths = c(3, 1))
lay_show(cl)
You can create even more complicated layouts:
lay3 <- lay_new(matrix(1:2))
lay4 <- lay_bind_row(cl, lay3, heights = c(5, 2))
lay_show(lay4)
lay5 <- lay_bind_col(lay4, lay3, widths = c(5, 2))
lay_show(lay5)
You can create very complicated layouts by splitting one field:
library(customLayout)
lay <- lay_new(
matrix(1:4, nc = 2),
widths = c(3, 2),
heights = c(2, 1))
lay_show(lay)
# Split field 4 from lay into lay2:
slay <- lay_split_field(lay, lay2, field = 4)
lay_show(slay)
library(customLayout)
par(mar = c(3, 2, 2, 1))
lay <- lay_new(
matrix(1:4, nc = 2),
widths = c(3, 2),
heights = c(2, 1))
lay2 <- lay_new(matrix(1:3))
cl <- lay_bind_col(lay, lay2, widths = c(3, 1))
lay_set(cl) # initialize drawing area
set.seed(123)
plot(1:100 + rnorm(100))
plot(rnorm(100), type = "l")
hist(rnorm(500))
acf(rnorm(100))
pie(c(3, 4, 6), col = 2:4)
pie(c(3, 2, 7), col = 2:4 + 3)
pie(c(5, 4, 2), col = 2:4 + 6)
library(customLayout)
library(ggplot2)
library(gridExtra)
lay <- lay_new(
matrix(1:2, ncol = 1))
lay2 <- lay_new(matrix(1:3))
cl <- lay_bind_col(lay, lay2, widths = c(3, 1))
library(ggplot2)
cuts <- sort(unique(diamonds[["cut"]]),
decreasing = TRUE)
make_cut_plot <- function(cut) {
dd <- diamonds[diamonds[["cut"]] == cut, ]
pl <- ggplot(dd) +
geom_point(aes(carat, price)) +
facet_wrap("cut")
pl
}
plots <- lapply(cuts, make_cut_plot)
lay_grid(plots, cl)
Layouts created using customLayout
package can be used to arrange elements on the PowerPoint slide. For the detailed description please refer to the vignette:
