Re: [R] What's box() (exactly) doing?

You can use the grconvertX and grconvertY functions to find the coordinates (in user coordinates to pass to rect) of the figure region (or other regions). Probably something like: grconvertX(c(0,1), from='nfc', to='user') grconvertY(c(0,1), from='nfc', to='user') On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 8:19

Re: [R] What's box() (exactly) doing?

Try this one: myBox <- function (which = c("plot", "figure"), ...) { # draw filled rectangle where box() would draw open rectangle which <- match.arg(which) oldXpd <- par("xpd") on.exit(par(oldXpd)) if (which == "plot") { do.call("rect", c(as.list(par("usr")[c(1, 3, 2,

Re: [R] What's box() (exactly) doing?

Hi Jim, Here is a follow-up question: How would you replicate box("figure") (instead of box() = box("plot"))? I tried to fill the plotted box but there seems to be no argument to box("figure") that does that. If that's indeed the case, one could work again with rect() (thus replicating

Re: [R] What's box() (exactly) doing?

Hi Marius, There are a few things that are happening here. First, the plot area is not going to be the same as your x and y limits unless you say so: # run your first example par("usr") [1] -0.04 1.04 -0.04 1.04 # but plot(NA, type = "n", ann = FALSE, axes = FALSE, xlim = 0:1, ylim =

[R] What's box() (exactly) doing?

Hi, I would like to replicate the behavior of box() with rect() (don't ask why). However, my rect()angles are always too small. I looked a bit into the internal C_box but couldn't figure out how to solve the problem. Below is a minimal working (and a slightly bigger) example. Cheers, Marius ##
