Custom tiling-pattern fill

Source: R/reexports.R
vl_pattern.Rd

A thin re-export of vellum::vl_pattern() for building a pattern fill from an arbitrary tile grob, when the ready-made pattern_stripe() family does not fit. Like a gradient, the result is an unscaled fill value.

Usage

vl_pattern(
  grob,
  width = 0.1,
  height = 0.1,
  x = 0.5,
  y = 0.5,
  units = "npc",
  extend = "repeat"
)

Arguments

grob, width, height, x, y, units, extend

See vellum::vl_pattern().

Value

A vellum_pattern object usable as a fill value.

pattern_stripe(), linear_gradient()

Examples

dots <- vellum::circle_grob(r = 0.25, gp = vellum::vl_gpar(fill = "grey30"))
vl_pattern(dots, width = 0.08, height = 0.08)
#> <vellum_pattern> cell 0.08 x 0.08 "npc", extend = "repeat"
