[RQt-devel] par(xpd=NA) and the layout approach in qtpaint

[Tengfei Yin]

Hi

I just made a simple demo below, I hope it could help a little bit.

1. I don't set limits on root layer. so you can put every thing in order,
like title the row 0, (I don't always put labels and axis in the different
layer, because I think they use the same coordinate with data ),but I set
limits to each layer above root layer, reverse y-axis, like usual.
2. you can use location function to see the system capture the right
coordinates, in these two layer.
3. I only use gridLayout()$setRowStretchFactor()
4. I guess the text in your code is not shown because the place
row=0,column=0, has a blank layer. and there is no extra space for showing
the text in that layer, you can set limits to that layer to make the text
shown.

Regards

Tengfei

library(qtpaint)
s <- qscene()
mypainter1 <- function(layer,painter){
  qdrawCircle(painter,rnorm(100,50,20),rnorm(100,50,20),r=5,fill='black')
}
mypainter2 <- function(layer,painter){
  qdrawCircle(painter,rnorm(100,750,100),rnorm(100,750,100),r=5,fill='red')
}
mouseLocator <- function(layer,event){
  print(as.numeric(event$pos()))
}
rootLayer <- qlayer(s)
l1 <-
qlayer(rootLayer,mypainter1,limits=qrect(0,0,100,100),mouseDoubleClickFun=mouseLocator)
l2 <-
qlayer(rootLayer,mypainter2,row=1,limits=qrect(500,500,1000,1000),mouseDoubleClickFun=mouseLocator)
rootLayer$gridLayout()$setRowStretchFactor(0,1)
rootLayer$gridLayout()$setRowStretchFactor(1,5)
qplotView(s)$show()
