paintr: Create Graphics of 'R' Data Structures

Draws teaching diagrams of the contents of common 'R' data structures (vectors, matrices, data frames, lists, and arrays) so their shape and values can be read at a glance. Two backends render the same picture, with base 'R' graphics through the paint_*() functions and 'ggplot2' through the gpaint_*() functions. The label under each cell is the expression you would type to reach that cell, so every diagram doubles as a lesson in how to subset and index the object it draws.
