\name{area}
\alias{area}
\title{Specify a plotting area in a layout}
\usage{
area(t, l, b = t, r = l)
}
\arguments{
\item{t, b}{The top and bottom bounds of the area in the grid}

\item{l, r}{The left and right bounds of the area int the grid}
}
\value{
A \code{patch_area} object
}
\description{
This is a small helper used to specify a single area in a rectangular grid
that should contain a plot. Objects constructed with \code{area()} can be
concatenated together with \code{c()} in order to specify multiple areas.
}
\details{
The grid that the areas are specified in reference to enumerate rows from top
to bottom, and coloumns from left to right. This means that \code{t} and \code{l}
should always be less or equal to \code{b} and \code{r} respectively. Instead of
specifying area placement with a combination of \code{area()} calls, it is
possible to instead pass in a single string

\if{html}{\out{<div class="sourceCode">}}\preformatted{areas <- c(area(1, 1, 2, 1),
           area(2, 3, 3, 3))
}\if{html}{\out{</div>}}

is equivalent to

\if{html}{\out{<div class="sourceCode">}}\preformatted{areas < -"A##
          A#B
          ##B"
}\if{html}{\out{</div>}}

For an example of this, see the \code{\link[=plot_layout]{plot_layout()}} examples.
