add_clines: Adds LaTex \clines to an object of class '"xtable"'

In EstherHerbert/Useful.functions: Some Useful Functions

Adds LaTex ⁠\clines⁠ to an object of class "xtable"

Description

Produces a list with 'pos' and 'command' to use with xtable()'s add.to.row option. This will create a partial horizontal line across specified columns of the table. Users can either specify the row numbers they'd like to add the cline to or the function will look for the rows which use multirow in a specified column.

Usage

add_clines(xtab, rows = "multirow", cols, check.column)

Arguments

xtab	the xtable object
rows	either "multirow" (the default) or row numbers to add a cline to
cols	a character string with the columns over which to draw the cline (e.g, "2-3")
check.column	a character string of the column to check when rows = "multirow"

Value

A list with levels 'pos' and 'command' to give to the add.to.row option of xtable().

Examples

xtab <- xtable::xtable(head(iris))

xtable::print.xtable(xtab, add.to.row = add_clines(., rows = c(2, 3), cols = "3-4"))
