add_style: Add a style object to a report.

In reporter: Creates Statistical Reports

Add a style object to a report.

Description

This function will add a style object to a report specification. The style may be added either by passing a style object to the style parameter, or by passing a theme name to the theme parameter.

Usage

add_style(rpt, style = NULL, theme = NULL)

Arguments

rpt	The report specification to add a style to.
style	A style object which contains style settings to add to the report. This parameter is optional. Default is NULL.
theme	A theme name to use for this report. Valid values are "MidnightBlue", "SteelBlue", "DarkRed", "SeaGreen", "SlateGrey", "Plain", and "SASDefault". Default is NULL.

Details

The add_style() function allows you to add styling to HTML reports. This functionality will apply to additional output types in future versons of the reporter package.

Styling can be added by passing a named theme to the theme parameter, or by creating a style object using the create_style function and passing that object to the style parameter. You may also export a theme as a style object using the get_theme function, modify it, and pass that to the style parameter.

Style Specifications

The style specification is created using the create_style function, and provides the most styling flexibility. The style object allows you to control background colors, font colors, border colors, and more. Colors can be specified using an RGB hex code, or an HTML/CSS-compliant color name. See the create_style documentation for additional information.

Themes

There are currently seven themes available: "MidnightBlue", "SteelBlue", "DarkRed", "SeaGreen", "SlateGrey", "Plain", and "SASDefault". All themes use Arial 10pt font. These themes are intended to provide a basic set of examples on how to create styles. Themes can be used by passing the theme name to the theme parameter on the add_style() function. The theme will assign a variety of style settings according to the specifics of the theme. For example, the "MidnightBlue" theme sets the title font and header background colors to "MidnightBlue" and sets the border color to "Grey".

To view theme style settings, you can use get_theme function. This function will return the theme as a style object. See the get_theme documentation for further details.

Examples

library(reporter)
library(magrittr)

# Prepare data
dat <- as.data.frame(HairEyeColor)
dat <- dat[dat$Freq >= 10, ]

## Example 1: Use Pre-defined Theme ##

# Create temp file path
tmp1 <- file.path(tempdir(), "HairAndEyes1.html")

# Create table object
tbl <- create_table(dat, borders = "outside") %>% 
titles("Hair and Eye Colors with Theme") %>% 
column_defaults(width = .6)

# Create report and add theme
rpt <- create_report(tmp1, output_type = "HTML") %>% 
       add_content(tbl) %>% 
       add_style(theme = "SteelBlue")

# Write out the report        
write_report(rpt)

# Uncomment to View report
# file.show(tmp1)

#' ## Example 2: Create Custom Style ##

# Create temp file path
tmp2 <- file.path(tempdir(), "HairAndEyes2.html")

# Define custom style
sty <- create_style(font_name = "Times",
                    font_size = 10,
                    title_font_size = 12,
                    title_font_bold = TRUE,
                    title_font_color = "Blue",
                    table_header_background = "Blue",
                    table_header_font_bold = TRUE,
                    table_header_font_color = "White",
                    table_body_background = "White",
                    table_body_stripe = "Red")

# Create table object
tbl <- create_table(dat, borders = "outside") %>% 
titles("Hair and Eye Colors with Style") %>% 
column_defaults(width = .6)

# Create report and add style spec
rpt <- create_report(tmp2, output_type = "HTML") %>% 
       add_content(tbl) %>% 
       add_style(style = sty)

# Write out the report        
write_report(rpt)

# Uncomment to View report
# file.show(tmp2)
