Arrange multiple grobs on a page
Set up a gtable layout to place multiple grobs on a page.
arrangeGrob(..., grobs = list(...), layout_matrix, vp = NULL,
name = "arrange", as.table = TRUE, respect = FALSE, clip = "off",
nrow = NULL, ncol = NULL, widths = NULL, heights = NULL, top = NULL,
bottom = NULL, left = NULL, right = NULL, padding = unit(0.5, "line"))
grid.arrange(..., newpage = TRUE)
marrangeGrob(grobs, ..., ncol, nrow, layout_matrix = matrix(seq_len(nrow *
ncol), nrow = nrow, ncol = ncol), top = quote(paste("page", g, "of",
npages)))... |

Using marrangeGrob, if the layout specifies both nrow and ncol, the list of grobs can be split into multiple pages. On interactive devices print opens new windows, whilst non-interactive devices such as pdf call grid.newpage() between the drawings.
arrangeGrob returns a gtable.
marrangeGrob returns a list of class arrangelist
arrangeGrob: return a grob without drawing
grid.arrange: draw on the current device
marrangeGrob: interface to arrangeGrob that can dispatch on multiple pages
library(grid)
grid.arrange(rectGrob(), rectGrob())
## Not run:
library(ggplot2)
pl <- lapply(1:11, function(.x) qplot(1:10, rnorm(10), main=paste("plot", .x)))
ml <- marrangeGrob(pl, nrow=2, ncol=2)
## non-interactive use, multipage pdf
ggsave("multipage.pdf", ml)
