loonGrob_layoutType {loon}

A generic function used to distinguish whether only the locations of plots will be used to arrange them in a grob, or whether all arguments to 'gridExtra::arrangeGrob()' will be used.

Description

A generic function used to distinguish whether only the locations of plots will be used to arrange them in a grob, or whether all arguments to 'gridExtra::arrangeGrob()' will be used.

Usage

loonGrob_layoutType(target)

Arguments

target

the (compound) loon plot to be laid out.

Value

either the string "locations" (the default) or the string "arrangeGrobArgs". If "locations", then the generic function 'l_getLocations()' will be called and only the location arguments of 'gridExtra::arrangeGrob()' used (i.e. a subset of 'c("ncol", "nrow", "layout_matrix", "heights", "widths")'). The grobs to be laid out are constructed using the generic function 'l_getPlots()'.
