validDetails Customising grid grob Validation

Description

This generic hook function is called whenever a grid grob is created or edited via grob, gTree, grid.edit or editGrob. This provides an opportunity for customising the validation of a new class derived from grob (or gTree).

Usage

validDetails(x)

Arguments

x	A grid grob.

Details

This function is called by grob, gTree, grid.edit and editGrob. A method should be written for classes derived from grob or gTree to validate the values of slots specific to the new class. (e.g., see grid:::validDetails.axis).

Note that the standard slots for grobs and gTrees are automatically validated (e.g., vp, gp slots for grobs and, in addition, children, and childrenvp slots for gTrees) so only slots specific to a new class need to be addressed.

Value

The function MUST return the validated grob.
