Set borders

Description

These functions set borders between cells.

Usage

left_border(ht)

right_border(ht)

top_border(ht)

bottom_border(ht)

left_border(ht) <- value

right_border(ht) <- value

top_border(ht) <- value

bottom_border(ht) <- value

set_left_border(ht, row, col, value = 0.4)

set_right_border(ht, row, col, value = 0.4)

set_top_border(ht, row, col, value = 0.4)

set_bottom_border(ht, row, col, value = 0.4)

map_left_border(ht, row, col, fn)

map_right_border(ht, row, col, fn)

map_top_border(ht, row, col, fn)

map_bottom_border(ht, row, col, fn)

Arguments

ht	A huxtable.
value	A numeric thickness or a brdr() object. Set to NA to reset to the default, which is 0.
row	A row specifier. See rowspecs for details.
col	An optional column specifier.
fn	A mapping function. See mapping-functions for details.

Details

Borders are always "collapsed": right_border(ht)[, 1] is the same as left_border(ht)[, 2], and setting one sets the other.

Setting left_border(ht) <- number sets the border thickness. You can set multiple properties at once by using brdr().

Currently in LaTeX, all non-zero border widths on a given line must be the same.

Limitations

• In HTML, you will need to set a width of at least 3 to get a double border.

• Only "solid" and "double" styles are currently implemented in LaTeX, and all non-zero horizontal border widths on a given line must be the same.

Other border properties: left_border_color(), left_border_style()

Examples

bottom_border(jams)[1, ] <- 0.4
jams

bottom_border(jams)[1, ] <- brdr(0.4, "solid", "blue")
jams

set_bottom_border(jams, brdr(0.4, "solid", "green"))
