Many graphics systems have the notion of a current drawing location.
This has been added to Grid, with the additional benefit that the
drawing location can be specified relative to an arbitrary viewport.
This allows drawing across coordinate
systems\footnote{There was a request on R-help for exactly this
sort of thing - I will try to find the exact reference - and there has
since been another (From: Ross Darnell; Subject: Problems with
segments and multiple graphs). }.

The following code demonstrates a simple example (the output is
given after the code).

<<fig, results=hide, fig=TRUE, width=5, height=4, include=FALSE>>=
pushViewport(
    viewport(w = 0.8, h = 0.8,
             layout = grid.layout(1, 3,
                                  widths = unit(rep(1, 3),
                                  c("null", "inches", "null")))))
pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = 1, yscale = c(0, 4)))
grid.grill(); grid.yaxis(); grid.xaxis()
grid.points(0.5, unit(2, "native"))
grid.move.to(0.5, unit(2,"native"))
popViewport()
pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = 3, yscale = c(0, 2)))
grid.grill(); grid.yaxis(); grid.xaxis()
grid.points(0.5, unit(2, "native"))
grid.line.to(0.5, unit(2,"native"))
