In huxtable: Easily Create and Style Tables for LaTeX, HTML and Other Formats

Quickly print objects to a PDF, TeX, Typst, HTML, Microsoft Office or RTF document, or PNG or SVG images

Description

These functions use huxtable to print objects to an output document. They are useful as one-liners for data reporting.

Usage

quick_latex(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.tex"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_pdf(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.pdf"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive(),
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL
)

quick_typst(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.typ"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_typst_pdf(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.pdf"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive(),
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL
)

quick_typst_png(
  ...,
  file = confirm_prefix("huxtable-output"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive(),
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL,
  ppi = NULL
)

quick_typst_svg(
  ...,
  file = confirm_prefix("huxtable-output"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive(),
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL
)

quick_html(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.html"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_docx(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.docx"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_pptx(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.pptx"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_xlsx(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.xlsx"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

quick_rtf(
  ...,
  file = confirm("huxtable-output.rtf"),
  borders = 0.4,
  open = interactive()
)

Arguments

...	One or more huxtables or R objects with an as_huxtable method.
file	File path for the output.
borders	Border width for members of ... that are not huxtables.
open	Logical. Automatically open the resulting file?
width	String passed to the LaTeX geometry package's paperwidth option or Typst's page width option. Use NULL for the default width.
height	String passed to the LaTeX geometry package's paperheight option or Typst's page height option. Use NULL for the default height.
ppi	Pixels per inch for PNG output.

Details

Objects in ... will be converted to huxtables, with borders added.

If ‘file’ is not specified, the command will fail in non-interactive sessions. In interactive sessions, the default file path is "huxtable-output.xxx" in the working directory; if this already exists, you will be asked to confirm manually before proceeding.

To create docx and pptx files flextable and officer must be installed, while xlsx needs openxlsx. quick_typst_pdf(), quick_typst_png(), and quick_typst_svg() require the typst command line tool.

quick_typst_pdf() with e.g. file = "foo.pdf" will overwrite and delete the file foo.typ.

quick_typst_png() and quick_typst_svg() create one image per huxtable. If there is more than one object in ..., images will have a numeric suffix like ⁠"-1", "-2"⁠ etc. Existing files with the same file prefix will be overwritten after confirmation in interactive sessions.

Value

Invisible NULL.
