Adds a title header block

Description

This function adds a title header to an object. A title header is a special type of title layout that has titles on the left and header information on the right.

Usage

title_header(
  x,
  ...,
  right = "",
  blank_row = "below",
  borders = "none",
  width = NULL
)

Arguments

x

The object to assign titles to. Valid objects are a report, table, text, or plot specification.

...

A set of title strings.

right

A set of header strings to be shown on the right side of the title header. Pass the header strings as a vector of strings.

blank_row

Where to place a blank row. Valid values are 'above', 'below', 'both', or 'none'. Default is 'below'.

borders

Whether and where to place a border. Valid values are 'top', 'bottom', 'left', 'right', 'outside', 'inside', 'all', or 'none'. Default is 'none'. The 'left', 'right', 'outside', and 'inside' border specifications only apply to RTF, HTML, PDF and DOCX reports.

width

The width of the title header. If the title header is attached to the report, valid values are 'page' or a numeric width, and the default is 'page'. If the title header is attached to the table, plot, or text content, the valid values are 'page', 'content' or a numeric value, and the default is 'content'. The value 'content' means the footnotes will be aligned to the width of the table, plot, or text content. The value 'page' means the footnotes will be aligned to the width of the page. In addition to these two convenience settings, you may also specify a specific width in the current units of measure. The units of measure is determined by the 'units' parameter on create_report.

Details

The title_header function accepts a set of strings of the desired title text, and a vector of header strings. The titles will appear on the left of the title header, and the header strings on the right. To specify multiple titles for the block, pass them to the function as separate strings.

Title headers may be assigned to a report, a table, a text specification, or a plot. If assigned to the report, the title header will appear at the top of the page, and be repeated for every page of the report. If the title header is assigned to content, the titles will appear above the content, and be repeated if the content breaks to the next page.

One title header function accepts up to 10 titles. Blank rows above or below the title block may be controlled using the blank_row parameter.

Each title string must fit within the available space. The reporter package will not wrap titles on fixed-width reports. If a title does not fit within the available space, an error will be generated. In these situations, either shorten the title or split it into multiple titles that each fit within the available space.

Value

The modified report.
