spans: Extend cells over multiple rows and/or columns

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

Extend cells over multiple rows and/or columns

Description

A cell with rowspan of 2 covers the cell directly below it. A cell with colspan of 2 covers the cell directly to its right. A cell with rowspan of 2 and colspan of 2 covers a 2 x 2 square, hiding three other cells.

Usage

rowspan(ht)
rowspan(ht) <- value
set_rowspan(ht, row, col, value )
map_rowspan(ht, row, col, fn)

colspan(ht)
colspan(ht) <- value
set_colspan(ht, row, col, value )
map_colspan(ht, row, col, fn)

Arguments

ht	A huxtable.
row	A row specifier. See rowspecs for details.
col	An optional column specifier.
fn	A mapping function. See mapping-functions for details.
value	An integer vector or matrix.

Cell content

In merged cell ranges, only the top left cell's content is displayed. In addition, when you merge cells (either by setting colspan() or rowspan(), or using merge_cells() and friends) the content of the top left cell is copied to other cells. This prevents unexpected changes to content if you reorder or subset rows and columns.

See Also

merge_cells(), merge_across() and merge_down() for a higher-level interface.

Examples

letter_hux <- as_hux(matrix(LETTERS[1:9], 3, 3))
letter_hux <- set_all_borders(letter_hux)
letter_hux
set_rowspan(letter_hux, 1, 1, 2)
set_colspan(letter_hux, 1, 1, 2)
