\title{Convert between the 5 different coordinate sytems on a graphical device}
\description{
Takes a set of coordinates in any of the 5 coordinate systems (usr,
plt, fig, dev, or tdev) and returns the same points in all 5
coordinate systems.
}
\usage{
cnvrt.coords(x, y = NULL, input = c("usr", "plt", "fig", "dev","tdev"))
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
\item{x}{Vector, Matrix, or list of x coordinates (or x and y
coordinates), NA's allowed. }
\item{y}{y coordinates (if \code{x} is a vector), NA's allowed. }
\item{input}{Character scalar indicating the coordinate system of the
input points. }
}
\details{
Every plot has 5 coordinate systems:
usr (User): the coordinate system of the data, this is shown by the
tick marks and axis labels.
plt (Plot): Plot area, coordinates range from 0 to 1 with 0
corresponding to the x and y axes and 1 corresponding to the top and
right of the plot area. Margins of the plot correspond to plot
coordinates less than 0 or greater than 1.
fig (Figure): Figure area, coordinates range from 0 to 1 with 0
corresponding to the bottom and left edges of the figure (including
margins, label areas) and 1 corresponds to the top and right edges.
fig and dev coordinates will be identical if there is only 1 figure
area on the device (layout, mfrow, or mfcol has not been used).
dev (Device): Device area, coordinates range from 0 to 1 with 0
corresponding to the bottom and left of the device region within the
outer margins and 1 is the top and right of the region withing the
outer margins. If the outer margins are all set to 0 then tdev and
dev should be identical.
tdev (Total Device): Total Device area, coordinates range from 0 to 1 with 0
corresponding to the bottom and left edges of the device (piece of
paper, window on screen) and 1 corresponds to the top and right edges.
}
\value{
A list with 5 components, each component is a list with vectors named
x and y. The 5 sublists are:
\item{usr}{The coordinates of the input points in usr (User) coordinates.}
\item{plt}{The coordinates of the input points in plt (Plot)
coordinates.}
\item{fig}{The coordinates of the input points in fig (Figure)
coordinates.}
\item{dev}{The coordinates of the input points in dev (Device)
coordinates.}
\item{tdev}{The coordinates of the input points in tdev (Total Device)
coordinates.

\note{ You must provide both x and y, but one of them may be \code{NA}.
This function is now depricated with the new functions
\code{grconvertX} and \code{grconvertY} in R version 2.7.0 and beyond.
These new functions use the correct coordinate system names and have
more coordinate systems available, you should start using them instead.
