Research direction

Read the original MEP linked in the issue and trace the current handling of the “fully justified” option in the grid-strategy code. The work is complete when fill-grow makes plots grow to fill the available space and fill-space distributes extra space between plots, with behavior covered by the project’s existing tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Right now "fully justified" changes the shape of the plots, we could change that to two different justification modes. In the original MEP, I proposed two "fully justified" modes, fill-grow and fill-space, where fill-grow would have the plots grow to fill the space and fill-space would distribute the extra space between the plots.
