Arrange 'Grobs' in Tables

Tools to make it easier to work with "tables" of 'grobs'. The 'gtable' package defines a 'gtable' grob class that specifies a grid along with a list of grobs and their placement in the grid. Further the package makes it easy to manipulate and combine 'gtable' objects so that complex compositions can be build up sequentially.

gtable provides internal tools used to draw ggplot2 graphics.

gtable 0.2.0

Switch from preDrawDetails() and postDrawDetails() methods to makeContent() and makeContext() methods (@pmur002, #50). This is a better approach facilitiated by changes in grid. Learn more at https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2013-2/murrell.pdf.
Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
Partial argument matches have been fixed.
Import grid instead of depending on it.

gtable 0.1.2

print.gtable now prints the z order of the grobs, and it no longer sort the names by z order. Previously, the layout names were sorted by z order, but the grobs weren't. This resulted in a mismatch between the names and the grobs. It's better to not sort by z by default, since that doesn't match how indexing works. The zsort option allows the output to be sorted by z.
