ggsave をいじって viewport で layout したファイルを保存してみよう

論文風な Kaplan-Meier plot を書いてみよう で試してみましたが、grid package の viewport を使うと、柔軟な感じにレイアウトを決めることができました。
普通に png や pdf でファイルを保存することもできますが、ggplot2 pacakge の ggsave が便利なので、流用できればなぁと思って試してみました。

df <- data.frame(x=rnorm(10), y=rnorm(10))
plot1 <- ggplot(data=df, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_point()
grid.newpage()
pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(2, 2)))
print(plot1, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=1, layout.pos.col=1))
print(plot1, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=1, layout.pos.col=2))
print(plot1, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=2, layout.pos.col=1))
print(plot1, vp=viewport(layout.pos.row=2, layout.pos.col=2))
grid.gedit("text", gp=gpar(fontfamily="serif"))
kmg2.plot0 <- recordPlot()
kmg2.ggsave("save.png", plot = kmg2.plot0)
`kmg2.ggsave` <- function (filename = default_name(plot), plot = last_plot(), 
    device = default_device(filename), path = NULL, scale = 1, 
    width = par("din")[1], height = par("din")[2], dpi = 300, 
    keep = plot$options$keep, drop = plot$options$drop, ...) 
{
  # original
  # if (!inherits(plot, "ggplot"))
  #     stop("plot should be a ggplot2 plot")
    if (!inherits(plot, "recordedplot")) 
        stop("plot should be a recordedplot")
