I would like to know how to arrange one grob object (a table) inside another. Consider the following example:

library(ggplot2) library(gridExtra) p1 <- qplot(data=mtcars, x = mpg, y = hp, facets = ~ hp, geom="point") t1 <- tableGrob(head(mtcars)) print(arrangeGrob(p1, t1))

This yields:

Plot 01

What I would like to do is place the table inside the other object like this:

Desired Result

Is this possible to do using gridArrange or perhaps some other methods from grid and/or gridExtra?

    This may be a start. I know there are also some posts about explicitly placing 'something' in an empty panel in a facetted plot. Can't find them right now... Commented May 8, 2015 at 16:41

    This is the one I was thinking of: How to use empty space produced by facet_wrap?. Commented May 8, 2015 at 16:47

Here is one possibility using grid functions:

png("SO.png", width = 1440, height = 720) plot(p1) vp <- viewport(x = 0.95, y = 0.02, width = unit(0.4, "npc"), height = unit(0.2, "npc"), just = c("right", "bottom")) pushViewport(vp) grid.draw(t1) dev.off()

resulting plot
