Fast Multi-Page PDF Report Layout on the Graphics Device |
Statements
A lightweight, dependency-free engine to build multi-page PDF reports quickly on top of R's built-in graphics device ('pdf'/'cairo_pdf'). Content is placed by a measured flow layout: every text block reports its real width and height via 'strwidth'/'strheight', the vertical cursor advances by measured height, and pages break automatically. This eliminates the text-overlap of dead-reckoned coordinate reports (such as the 'nmw' NONMEM diagnostic reports) and replaces slow '.Rmd'/'knitr'/'LaTeX' pipelines for fixed report generation: no external toolchain is started and the document is written in a single pass. Interactive AcroForm CRFs are out of scope.
