R help - Feb 2017 - How to disable verbose grob results in pdf when using knitr with gridExtra?

Hi every one,



I am using Knitr, R and Latex to produce pdf file. When using gridExtra to set
up a gtable layout to place multiple grobs on a page,

 

grid.arrange(facetpoint1,pright1,pright2,pright3,pright4,pright5,pright6,pright7,
ncol=2, layout_matrix=cbind(c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1),c(2,3,4,5,6,7,8)), widths=c(2,1))



the verbose of the infomation shows before the one figure in the pdf file:



## TableGrob (7 x 2) "arrange": 8 grobs ## z cells name grob ## 1 1
(1-7,1-1) arrange gtable[layout] ## 2 2 (1-1,2-2) arrange gtable[layout] ## 3 3
(2-2,2-2) arrange gtable[layout] ## 4 4 (3-3,2-2) arrange gtable[layout] ## 5 5
(4-4,2-2) arrange gtable[layout] ## 6 6 (5-5,2-2) arrange gtable[layout] ## 7 7
(6-6,2-2) arrange gtable[layout] ## 8 8 (7-7,2-2) arrange gtable[layout]






When I ?grid.arrange, no ways were found to disable the verbose in the pdf file.
Any ideas?



Thanks.

This is not a reproducible example. No matter where you ask this question 
you need to supply a complete short script that exhibits the problem. That 
also means including enough data IN THE SCRIPT to allow the script to 
run. There are multiple guides online that describe how to do this in 
detail.

7 (6-6,2-2) arrange gtable[layout] ## 8 8 (7-7,2-2) arrange gtable[layout]
None of this appears when I created my own reproducible R example:

#### begin code
library(grid)
library(gridExtra)

facetpoint1 <- pright1 <- pright2 <- pright3 <- pright4 <-
pright5 <-
pright6 <- pright7  <- textGrob("X")
grid.arrange( facetpoint1, pright1, pright2, pright3, pright4, pright5
             , pright6, pright7
             , ncol=2
             , layout_matrix = cbind( c( 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 )
                                    , c( 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ) )
             , widths = c( 2, 1 )
             )
#### end code

If the above example produces output for you in R or in a knitted PDF then 
something is different about your setup than mine.

Does this happen at the R console? If it does, please post a reproducible 
example, and the invocation and output of sessionInfo() (mine is below). 
If it doesn't, there could be some interaction with knitr going on, and 
using the echo=FALSE or warnings=FALSE chunk options could help, or you 
may need more specialized help than we can offer here (e.g. via one of 
the knitr support areas mentioned above).

When you don't set your email to plain text, the automatic conversion of 
HTML to text is very likely to cause us to see something quite different 
than you were looking at. It is in your best interest to figure out how to 
set your email program to send plain text. Please read the Posting Guide:

Sorry for no reproducible example.



using warnings=FALSE chunk options in knitr does not help. I found it is not the
knitr's business.  I used



resultpdf<-
grid.arrange(facetpoint1,pright1,pright2,pright3,pright4,pright5,pright6,pright7,
ncol=2, layout_matrix=cbind(c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1),c(2,3,4,5,6,7,8)), widths=c(2,1))



then 



print(resultpdf)



in my chunk.



I removed object resultpdf, just used code below to produce figure



grid.arrange(facetpoint1,pright1,pright2,pright3,pright4,pright5,pright6,pright7,
ncol=2, layout_matrix=cbind(c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1),c(2,3,4,5,6,7,8)), widths=c(2,1))



then no verbose appeared.



The problem is using print() with ggplot2.

Keep in mind that this list is about R first and foremost. There is a 

mailing list for Knitr, and also the maintainer of the knitr package 

recommends asking questions on stackoverflow.com.
