These two plots give different results, the second is completely transparent rather than the expected light blue region on the left. Whether it works or not seems to depend on the specific geometry of the device and *not on the specific xlim interval chosen*. I can get the problem to come and by interactively resizing the window resulting from the first plot. Somehow it's related to the intersection-detection of the filled polygon with the plot region (?). pp <- matrix(c(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0), ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE) xlim <- c(0.24, 1.5) ## ok at xlim[1] = 0.24 ## first plot, ok (but also try resizing the window by dragging the left side out) plot(pp, main = "winding/transparent", xlim = xlim) polypath(pp, col = "#ADD8E6E6", rule = "winding") xlim <- c(0.25, 1.5) ## second plot, not ok plot(pp, main = "winding/transparent", xlim = xlim) polypath(pp, col = "#ADD8E6E6", rule = "winding") Cheers, Mike. > Cheers, Mike. > > >> For the example you give, grid.path() diverts to drawing a polygon >> (because there is no 'id' specified), and the NAs in 'x' generate two >> separate polygons, which get drawn one on top of the other. >> >> The correct analogy to the polypath() example is ... >> >> x2 <- matrix(x[!is.na(x)], ncol=2) >> grid.path(x2[,1], x2[,2], id=rep(1:2, each=4), >> rule="winding", gp=gpar(="#BEBEBE80")) >> >> ... which produces the same (wrong) result as polypath() on Windows. >> >> Also, the grid.path() result for your example is NOT the same as the >> correct result; we do NOT want a separate shade for the intersecting >> region when the "winding" fill rule is working correctly.
