Overview

About

Maintained by Maciej NasinskiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: UCB S.A., Belgium

A simple and flexible tool designed to create enriched figures and tables by providing a way to add text around them through predefined or custom layouts. Any input which is convertible to 'grob' is supported, like 'ggplot', 'gt' or 'flextable'. Based on R 'grid' graphics, for more details see Paul Murrell (2018) doi:10.1201/9780429422768.

Changes in 0.8.1

New features

Added vertical anchoring for the gridify object inside its cell via the new vjust slot of gridifyObject() and the object_vjust argument of simple_layout(), complex_layout(), pharma_layout_base(), pharma_layout_A4() and pharma_layout_letter(). 0 aligns the object to the bottom, 0.5 (default) centers it, and 1 anchors it to the top of the cell. Most useful for fixed-size grobs such as gt and flextable tables. When vjust != 0.5 is used with a fixed-size grob the viewport is sized to grid::grobHeight() and the height slot of gridifyObject() is ignored. For fixed-size tables, edge values (0 or 1) place the table directly against the object-row edge; add spacer rows in custom layouts or use inset values such as 0.05 or 0.95 if nearby text appears too close. Reported and proposed by Monika Beh.

Added support for fill_empty = NA in the paginate_table() function.

Bug fixes

When fill_empty in the paginate_table() function is a character value, the final paginated table now coerces columns to character before filling empty cells (#20).

Miscellaneous

Added section on pipeline security and PDF searchability to README.md, gridify vignette, and transparency vignette.
Added the active lifecycle badge to README.md file (#17).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("gridify", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("pharmaverse/gridify")

Development version from pharmaverse/gridify. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-gridify

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-gridify

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-gridify

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
