R: Get a Grid Graphical Object

grid.get {grid} | R Documentation

## Get a Grid Graphical Object

### Description

Retrieve a grob or a descendant of a grob.

### Usage

    grid.get(gPath, strict = FALSE, grep = FALSE, global = FALSE,
             allDevices = FALSE)

    grid.gget(..., grep = TRUE, global = TRUE)

    getGrob(gTree, gPath, strict = FALSE, grep = FALSE, global = FALSE)

### Arguments

`gTree` | A gTree object.
`gPath` | A gPath object. For `grid.get` this specifies a grob on the display list. For `getGrob` this specifies a descendant of the specified gTree.
`strict` | A boolean indicating whether the gPath must be matched exactly.
`grep` | A boolean indicating whether the `gPath` should be treated as a regular expression. Values are recycled across elements of the `gPath` (e.g., `c(TRUE, FALSE)` means that every odd element of the `gPath` will be treated as a regular expression).
`global` | A boolean indicating whether the function should affect just the first match of the `gPath`, or whether all matches should be affected.
`allDevices` | A boolean indicating whether all open devices should be searched for matches, or just the current device. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.
`...` | Arguments that are passed to `grid.get`.

### Details

`grid.gget` (`g` for global) is just a convenience wrapper for `grid.get` with different defaults.

### Value

A grob object.
