_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function uses Grid graphics to draw a diagram of a Grid
     layout.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     grid.show.layout(l, newpage=TRUE, bg = "light grey",
                  cell.border = "blue", cell.fill = "light blue",
                  cell.label = TRUE, label.col = "blue",
                  unit.col = "red", vp = NULL) 

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       l: A Grid layout object.

 newpage: A logical value indicating whether to move on to a new page
          before drawing the diagram.

      bg: The colour used for the background.

cell.border: The colour used to draw the borders of the cells in the
          layout.

cell.fill: The colour used to fill the cells in the layout.

cell.label: A logical indicating whether the layout cells should be
          labelled.

label.col: The colour used for layout cell labels.

unit.col: The colour used for labelling the widths/heights of
          columns/rows.

      vp: A Grid viewport object (or NULL).

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     A viewport is created within 'vp' to provide a margin for
     annotation, and the layout is drawn within that new viewport. The
     margin is filled with light grey, the new viewport is filled with
     white and framed with a black border, and the layout regions are
     filled with light blue and framed with a blue border. The diagram
     is annotated with the widths and heights (including units) of the
     columns and rows of the layout using red text. (All colours are
     defaults and may be customised via function arguments.)

_V_a_l_u_e:

     None.
