In the tutorial example ([https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/examples/layoutables/gridlayout/index.html#aspect](https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/examples/layoutables/gridlayout/index.html#aspect)), is there a way to move `f[1, 2]` to the left so that it aligns on the left with `f[2, 2]` rather than staying in the center?

Currently no, but I could make it so the axis aligns according to its halign and valign in such a situation. I don’t think that could do harm in other situations even though it’s a bit nonstandard. If you give the axis a fixed size and it’s square, then you can already use halign and valign
