height: Set flextable rows height

In flextable: Functions for Tabular Reporting

Set flextable rows height

Description

control rows height for a part of the flextable when the line height adjustment is "atleast" or "exact" (see hrule()).

Usage

height(x, i = NULL, height, part = "body", unit = "in")

height_all(x, height, part = "all", unit = "in")

Arguments

x	a 'flextable' object, see flextable-package to learn how to create 'flextable' object.
i	row selector, see section Row selection with the i parameter in <Selectors in flextable>.
height	height in inches
part	part selector, see section Part selection with the part parameter in <Selectors in flextable>. Value 'all' is not allowed by the function.
unit	unit for height, one of "in", "cm", "mm".

height_all

height_all is a convenient function for setting the same height to all rows (selected with argument part).

Note

This function has no effect when the rule for line height is set to "auto" (see hrule()), which is the default case, except with PowerPoint which does not support this automatic line height adjustment feature.

ft_1 <- height(ft_1, height = .5)
ft_1 <- hrule(ft_1, rule = "exact")
ft_1


ft_2 <- flextable(head(iris))
ft_2 <- height_all(ft_2, height = 1)
ft_2 <- hrule(ft_2, rule = "exact")
