Questions tagged [gtable]

`gtable` is an R package used to facilitate the layout of graphics based on the grid package.

The R package gtable is designed to help construct and manipulate layouts containing graphical elements. The standard grid package in R provides low-level functions to define viewports, and place graphical elements (grobs) at specific locations within the device window. gtable builds upon these functions and provides a higher-level interface, where one can e.g. merge two layouts, add columns, rows, insert graphical elements in a given cell, and change the display order, among other things.

The gtable package is used internally by ggplot2, and can therefore be used to modify the layout of such plots.

grid.layout doesn't like respect and compound units

Using unit.pmax as the default comparison of widths/heights in gtable is proving harder than I'd hoped; after several hours of head scratching I've narrowed it down to this situation: library(grid) w <- list(unit(1,"null"), unit(1,"null")) class(w)…

This appears to be similar to an issue that @baptiste was trying to work around back in 2014. I am revisiting code I wrote back in June that involved creating three ggplotGrobs and combining them with a call to cbind. Now, this code fails with the…
