as.data.frame.gridtable: Coerce a gridtable to a Calibrated Data Frame

In tablet: Tabulate Descriptive Statistics in Multiple Formats

Coerce a gridtable to a Calibrated Data Frame

Description

Parse a validated gridtable object directly to a calibrated data frame. Columns have width attributes suggested by the grid table spans. Continuation lines within a grid-table cell are collapsed with single spaces. Cell markup is otherwise left untouched for downstream renderers.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'gridtable'
as.data.frame(
  x,
  row.names = NULL,
  optional = FALSE,
  ...,
  scale = getOption("tablet.gridtable.scale", 1)
)

Arguments

x	Character scalar with class gridtable.
row.names	Optional row names for the returned data frame.
optional	Currently unused; accepted for compatibility with as.data.frame.
...	Currently unused.
scale	Numeric scalar multiplier applied to grid-table dash counts when deriving column-level width attributes.

Value

A data frame with class c("calibrated", "data.frame"). Each column has a width attribute derived from the final grid table dash count multiplied by scale and encoded as an em width.
