style: Set flextable style

In flextable: Functions for Tabular Reporting

Set flextable style

Description

Modify flextable text, paragraphs and cells formatting properties. It allows to specify a set of formatting properties for a selection instead of using multiple functions (.i.e bold, italic, bg) that should all be applied to the same selection of rows and columns.

Usage

style(
  x,
  i = NULL,
  j = NULL,
  pr_t = NULL,
  pr_p = NULL,
  pr_c = NULL,
  part = "body"
)

Arguments

x	a flextable object
i	rows selection
j	columns selection
pr_t	object(s) of class fp_text
pr_p	object(s) of class fp_par
pr_c	object(s) of class fp_cell
part	partname of the table (one of 'all', 'body', 'header' or 'footer')

Examples

library(officer)
def_cell <- fp_cell(border = fp_border(color = "wheat"))

def_par <- fp_par(text.align = "center")

ft <- flextable(head(mtcars))

ft <- style(ft, pr_c = def_cell, pr_p = def_par, part = "all")
ft <- style(ft, ~ drat > 3.5, ~ vs + am + gear + carb,
  pr_t = fp_text(color = "red", italic = TRUE)
)
