gridify 0.8.1.9000
gridify 0.8.1 (2026-06-03)
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).

README.md, gridify vignette, and transparency vignette.
