[R] gridExtra-arrangeGrob

[Felipe Carrillo]

I am not sure if something was wrong with my gridExtra installation or grid but after uninstall/re-install of the packages (and reboot) the code is working properly. Thank you all.

The lattice library attaches the grid functions via a namespace mechanism but it does not actually load the package. That meant that attempts to use grid functions from the console would fail. Perhaps this is also the practice of the ggplot2 authors? In any event, the grid.arrange and arrangeGrob functions are not from grid, but rather from gridExtra, which I am not seeing being loaded.
