Draw a textual table.

  • ggtexttable(): draw a textual table.

  • ttheme(): customize table theme.

  • rownames_style(), colnames_style(), tbody_style(): helper functions to customize the table row names, column names and body.

  • table_cell_font(): access to a table cell for changing the text font (size and face).

  • table_cell_bg(): access to a table cell for changing the background (fill, color, linewidth).

  • tab_cell_crossout(): cross out a table cell.

  • tab_ncol(), tab_nrow(): returns, respectively, the number of columns and rows in a ggtexttable.

  • tab_add_hline(): Creates horizontal lines or separators at the top or the bottom side of a given specified row.

  • tab_add_vline(): Creates vertical lines or separators at the right or the left side of a given specified column.

  • tab_add_border(), tbody_add_border(), thead_add_border(): Add borders to table; tbody is for table body and thead is for table head.

  • tab_add_title(),tab_add_footnote(): Add title, subtitle and footnote to a table.

Arguments

x

a data.frame or matrix.

rows

optional vector to specify row names

cols

optional vector to specify column names

vp

optional viewport

theme

a list, as returned by the function ttheme(), defining the parameters of the table theme. Allowed values include one of ttheme() and ttheme_clean().

...

extra parameters for text justification, e.g.: hjust and x. Default is "centre" for the body and header, and "right" for the row names. Left justification: hjust = 0, x = 0.1. Right justification: hjust = 1, x = 0.9.

base_style

character string the table style/theme. The available themes are illustrated in the ggtexttable-theme.pdf file. Allowed values include one of c("default", "blank", "classic", "minimal", "light", "lBlack", "lBlue", "lRed", "lGreen", "lViolet", "lCyan", "lOrange", "lBlackWhite", "lBlueWhite", "lRedWhite", "lGreenWhite", "lVioletWhite", "lCyanWhite", "lOrangeWhite", "mBlack", "mBlue", "mRed", "mGreen", "mViolet", "mCyan", "mOrange", "mBlackWhite", "mBlueWhite", "mRedWhite", "mGreenWhite", "mVioletWhite", "mCyanWhite", "mOrangeWhite" ). Note that, l = "light"; m = "medium".

base_size

default font size

base_colour

default font colour

padding

length-2 unit vector specifying the horizontal and vertical padding of text within each cell

colnames.style

a list, as returned by the function colnames_style(), defining the style of the table column names. Considered only when base_size = "default".

rownames.style

a list, as returned by the function rownames_style(), defining the style of the table row names. Considered only when base_size = "default".

tbody.style

a list, as returned by the function tbody_style(), defining the style of the table body. Considered only when base_size = "default".

color, face, size

text font color, face and size, respectively. Allowed values for face include c("plain", "bold", "italic", "bold.italic").

fill

background color.

linewidth, linecolor

line width and color, respectively.

parse

logical, default behaviour for parsing text as plotmath

tab

an object from ggtexttable or from gridExtra::tableGrob().

row, column

an integer specifying the row and the column numbers for the cell of interest.

alpha

numeric value specifying fill color transparency. Value should be in [0, 1], where 0 is full transparency and 1 is no transparency.

linetype

line type

reduce.size.by

Numeric value in [0, 1] to reduce the size by.

at.row

a numeric vector of row indexes; for example at.row = c(1, 2).

row.side

row side to which the horinzotal line should be added. Can be one of c("bottom", "top").

from.column

integer indicating the column from which to start drawing the horizontal line.

to.column

integer indicating the column to which the horizontal line should end.

at.column

a numeric vector of column indexes; for example at.column = c(1, 2).

column.side

column side to which the vertical line should be added. Can be one of c("left", "right").

from.row

integer indicating the row from which to start drawing the horizontal line.

to.row

integer indicating the row to which the vertical line should end.

text

text to be added as title or footnote.

family

font family

just

The justification of the text relative to its (x, y) location. If there are two values, the first value specifies horizontal justification and the second value specifies vertical justification. Possible string values are: "left", "right", "centre", "center", "bottom", and "top". For numeric values, 0 means left (bottom) alignment and 1 means right (top) alignment.

hjust

A numeric vector specifying horizontal justification. If specified, overrides the just setting.

vjust

A numeric vector specifying vertical justification. If specified, overrides the just setting.

Value

an object of class ggplot.
