This PR fixes a pet peeve of mine: the build method(s) don't read very nicely.
First off,
ggplot_build()andggplot_gtable()are in the same file, which is messy because they are both user-facing functions, they do things independently and are also documented separately.Secondly, I understand why
ggplot_build()is hard to read: it is complicated.However,
ggplot_gtable()has a lot of gtable operation complexity, which can be easily hidden away in some choice helper functions. It becomes a lot simpler to understand whatggplot_gtable()is doing if the steps are separate functions.
