Description
The Julia ecosystem has a number of grid layouts optimised for charts and plots with titles, axes and so on. It has an extremely stateful and side-effect-driven API, but the underlying logic seems sound and results in very nice and flexible placement of elements. Once the widget set and layouts for this toolkit mature a bit, it would be nice to explore these kinds of layouts. They are more generally applicable than plotting. For example, flexibly attaching labels to input widgets while maintaining good alignment.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked AbstractPlotting and JuliaPlots layout documentation, then inspect the toolkit's current widget and layout APIs. The issue names no files or tests; done would require a concrete, agreed scope for reusable chart-style layouts and a demonstrated implementation, rather than the exploratory idea described here.
