gridify 0.8.1.9000

gridify 0.8.1

CRAN release: 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).

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).
