_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Produces graphical output from a graphical object.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     grid.draw(x, recording=TRUE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: An object of class '"grob"' or NULL.

recording: A logical value to indicate whether the drawing operation
          should be recorded on the Grid display list.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This is a generic function with methods for grob and gTree
     objects.

     The grob and gTree methods automatically push any viewports in a
     'vp' slot and automatically apply any 'gpar' settings in a 'gp'
     slot.  In addition, the gTree method pushes and ups any viewports
     in a 'childrenvp' slot and automatically calls 'grid.draw' for any
     grobs in a 'children' slot.

     The methods for grob and gTree call the generic hook functions
     'preDrawDetails', 'drawDetails', and 'postDrawDetails' to allow
     classes derived from grob or gTree to perform additional viewport
     pushing/popping and produce additional output beyond the default
     behaviour for grobs and gTrees.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     None.

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):
