Post drawing changes about gramm HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi, thanks for the kind comment :) I'm well aware that the trade-off for a lot of gramm features is limited customization.

However, doing what you want should be completely possible, as gramm objects (at least since the Nov. 1 commit) should be fully copyable at any point. You have to copy them explicitly using copy() though, I use it a lot in the examples.m file.

So in pseudo-gramm code:

g=gramm(...)
g.facet_grid(...)
g.geom_point(...)
%call any gramm method except draw() and update()

gt=copy(g);

figure
g.draw()

gt.set_title(...)
figure
gt.draw()

Let me know if that works!

Ha! Well what do you know!
Too bad I already finished this specific keynote, but since it's an automated system that makes the keynote, I'll implement it for the next iteration!
BTW, Maybe the cheatsheet should add some kind of intro section explaining the behavior of gramm objects, specifically these sort of things which might exist in the examples page but aren't necessarily too obvious when browsing through it.

Thanks again for such swift responses!

Nooo, the imgur link doesn't work!
I'll see how I can add that to the documentation, it's true that the example page is a bit long now. Maybe just mentioning copy() in the cheat sheet?

imgur link is updated =]
I was originally thinking about simply mentioning simple actions like copy() in the cheatsheet but having remembered that it took me a while to get a grasp of how to use the cheatsheet and gramm in general, I think that a short intro of the steps required to make a gramm would actually help a great deal.

Kind of an extended version of the "workflow" section in the read me page (main page on GitHub)?

Something like that.
To be honest I only just now noticed that there's a "Workflow" section in the read! But well, that might just show that it should be available on either the cheatsheet or examples as well.
Also, I think a brief paragraph explaining how gramm works (i.e. gramm creates a MATLAB object containing the data for x,y axis grouping and other attributes, and then you can use this object's subroutines to choose how to display that data) might be in order, as the gramm code works quite differently from what MATLAB users are used to.

Edit: I feel like I keep saying "do this" and "do that" without actually offering to help. So, If you want some assistance with these things, let me know!

Hi, good point about gramm not being "standard" Matlab, and explanation might also help on this.

If you have time to help on this that would be great! Maybe by submitting some more explanations to the first section of the examples.m file or the readme.md file, which then I could include at the beginning of the cheat sheet (the original document is a .numbers table that is not on github). I'd have to find a way to refer to the color coding that is used in the cheat sheet (which I need to improve).

Hi, another gramm user opened a issue specifically for discussing tutorials/help, you can join the discussion if still interested: #31
