In rtables: Reporting Tables

Transform an rtable to a list of matrices which can be used for outputting

Description

Although rtables are represented as a tree data structure when outputting the table to ASCII or HTML it is useful to map the rtable to an in-between state with the formatted cells in a matrix form.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'VTableTree'
matrix_form(
  obj,
  indent_rownames = FALSE,
  expand_newlines = TRUE,
  indent_size = 2,
  fontspec = NULL,
  col_gap = 3L
)

Arguments

obj	(ANY) the object for the accessor to access or modify.
indent_rownames	(flag) if TRUE, the column with the row names in the strings matrix of the output has indented row names (strings pre-fixed).
expand_newlines	(flag) whether the matrix form generated should expand rows whose values contain newlines into multiple 'physical' rows (as they will appear when rendered into ASCII). Defaults to TRUE.
indent_size	(numeric(1)) number of spaces to use per indent level. Defaults to 2.
fontspec	(font_spec) The font that should be used by default when rendering this MatrixPrintForm object, or NULL (the default).
col_gap	(numeric(1))] The number of spaces (in the font specified by fontspec) that should be placed between columns when the table is rendered directly to text (e.g., by toString or export_as_txt). Defaults to 3.

Details

The strings in the return object are defined as follows: row labels are those determined by make_row_df and cell values are determined using get_formatted_cells. (Column labels are calculated using a non-exported internal function.

Value

A list with the following elements:

strings

The content, as it should be printed, of the top-left material, column headers, row labels, and cell values of tt.

spans

The column-span information for each print-string in the strings matrix.

aligns

The text alignment for each print-string in the strings matrix.

display

Whether each print-string in the strings matrix should be printed.

row_info

The data.frame generated by make_row_df.

With an additional nrow_header attribute indicating the number of pseudo "rows" that the column structure defines.

Examples

library(dplyr)

iris2 <- iris %>%
  group_by(Species) %>%
  mutate(group = as.factor(rep_len(c("a", "b"), length.out = n()))) %>%
  ungroup()

lyt <- basic_table() %>%
  split_cols_by("Species") %>%
  split_cols_by("group") %>%
  analyze(c("Sepal.Length", "Petal.Width"),
    afun = list_wrap_x(summary), format = "xx.xx"
  )

lyt

tbl <- build_table(lyt, iris2)

matrix_form(tbl)
