Wave patterned grobs
Description
grid.pattern_wave() draws a wave pattern onto the graphic device.
Usage
grid.pattern_wave(
  x = c(0, 0, 1, 1),
  y = c(1, 0, 0, 1),
  id = 1L,
  ...,
  colour = gp$col %||% "grey20",
  fill = gp$fill %||% "grey80",
  angle = 30,
  density = 0.2,
  spacing = 0.05,
  xoffset = 0,
  yoffset = 0,
  units = "snpc",
  amplitude = 0.5 * spacing,
  frequency = 1/spacing,
  alpha = gp$alpha %||% NA_real_,
  linetype = gp$lty %||% 1,
  linewidth = size %||% gp$lwd %||% 1,
  size = NULL,
  grid = "square",
  type = "triangle",
  default.units = "npc",
  name = NULL,
  gp = gpar(),
  draw = TRUE,
  vp = NULL
)
Arguments
x | 
 A numeric vector or unit object specifying x-locations of the pattern boundary.  | 
y | 
 A numeric vector or unit object specifying y-locations of the pattern boundary.  | 
id | 
 A numeric vector used to separate locations in x, y into multiple boundaries.
All locations within the same   | 
... | 
 Currently ignored.  | 
colour | 
 Stroke colour(s).  | 
fill | 
 Fill colour(s) or   | 
angle | 
 Rotation angle in degrees.  | 
density | 
 Approx. fraction of area the pattern fills.  | 
spacing | 
 Spacing between repetitions of pattern (in   | 
xoffset | 
 Shift pattern along x axis (in   | 
yoffset | 
 Shift pattern along y axis (in   | 
units | 
 
  | 
amplitude | 
 Wave amplitude (in   | 
frequency | 
 Linear frequency (in inverse   | 
alpha | 
 Alpha (between 0 and 1) or   | 
linetype | 
 Stroke linetype.  | 
linewidth | 
 Stroke linewidth.  | 
size | 
 For backwards compatibility can be used to set   | 
grid | 
 Adjusts placement and density of certain graphical elements.
  | 
type | 
 Either “sine” or “triangle” (default).  | 
default.units | 
 A string indicating the default units to use if   | 
name | 
 A character identifier.  | 
gp | 
 An object of class   | 
draw | 
 A logical value indicating whether graphics output should be produced.  | 
vp | 
 A Grid viewport object (or NULL).  | 
Value
A grid grob object invisibly.  If draw is TRUE then also draws to the graphic device as a side effect.

Examples
x_hex <- 0.5 + 0.5 * cos(seq(2 * pi / 4, by = 2 * pi / 6, length.out = 6))
y_hex <- 0.5 + 0.5 * sin(seq(2 * pi / 4, by = 2 * pi / 6, length.out = 6))
grid::grid.newpage()
grid.pattern_wave(x_hex, y_hex, colour = "black", type = "sine",
                  fill = c("red", "blue"), density = 0.4,
                  spacing = 0.15, angle = 0,
                  amplitude = 0.05, frequency = 1 / 0.20)
# zig-zag pattern is a wave of `type` "triangle"
grid::grid.newpage()
grid.pattern_wave(x_hex, y_hex, colour = "black", type = "triangle",
                    fill = c("red", "blue"), density = 0.4,
                    spacing = 0.15, angle = 0, amplitude = 0.075)
