Hello! Is it a bug or something? When I try to draw a grid-graphics on ps output background color is always transparent (with standard plot(...) this is not the case - the background is filled with ps.options()$bg color). What's wrong? Drawing a background grid.rect does not help - there is always small transparent margains along picture frame. Can this be fixed (I use R-2.0.1)?
Yes, it's a bug. Grid does not take appropriate notice of some
important initial device settings. A fix is on my todo list. In the
meantime, is the following workaround adequate (draw a filled rectangle
much larger than the device)?
grid.rect(width=2, height=2,
gp=gpar(fill=ps.options()$bg.color))
