paginate: Pagination of a 'TableTree'

In Roche/rtables: Reporting Tables

Pagination of a TableTree

Description

Paginate an rtables table in the vertical and/or horizontal direction, as required for the specified page size.

Usage

pag_tt_indices(
  tt,
  lpp = 15,
  min_siblings = 2,
  nosplitin = character(),
  colwidths = NULL,
  max_width = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

paginate_table(
  tt,
  page_type = "letter",
  font_family = "Courier",
  font_size = 8,
  lineheight = 1,
  landscape = FALSE,
  pg_width = NULL,
  pg_height = NULL,
  margins = c(top = 0.5, bottom = 0.5, left = 0.75, right = 0.75),
  lpp = NA_integer_,
  cpp = NA_integer_,
  min_siblings = 2,
  nosplitin = character(),
  colwidths = NULL,
  tf_wrap = FALSE,
  max_width = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

tt	(TableTree or related class) a TableTree object representing a populated table.
lpp	(numeric(1)) maximum lines per page including (re)printed header and context rows.
min_siblings	(numeric(1)) minimum sibling rows which must appear on either side of pagination row for a mid-subtable split to be valid. Defaults to 2.
nosplitin	(character) names of sub-tables where page-breaks are not allowed, regardless of other considerations. Defaults to none.
colwidths	(numeric) a vector of column widths for use in vertical pagination.
max_width	(integer(1), string or NULL) width that title and footer (including footnotes) materials should be word-wrapped to. If NULL, it is set to the current print width of the session (getOption("width")). If set to "auto", the width of the table (plus any table inset) is used. Parameter is ignored if tf_wrap = FALSE.
verbose	(flag) whether additional information should be displayed to the user. Defaults to FALSE.
page_type	(string) name of a page type. See page_types. Ignored when pg_width and pg_height are set directly.
font_family	(string) name of a font family. An error will be thrown if the family named is not monospaced. Defaults to "Courier".
font_size	(numeric(1)) font size. Defaults to 12.
lineheight	(numeric(1)) line height. Defaults to 1.
landscape	(flag) whether the dimensions of page_type should be inverted for landscape orientation. Defaults to FALSE, ignored when pg_width and pg_height are set directly.
pg_width	(numeric(1)) page width in inches.
pg_height	(numeric(1)) page height in inches.
margins	(numeric(4)) named numeric vector containing "bottom", "left", "top", and "right" margins in inches. Defaults to .5 inches for both vertical margins and .75 for both horizontal margins.
cpp	(numeric(1) or NULL) width (in characters) of the pages for horizontal pagination. NA (the default) indicates cpp should be inferred from the page size; NULL indicates no horizontal pagination should be done regardless of page size.
tf_wrap	(flag) whether the text for title, subtitles, and footnotes should be wrapped.

Details

rtables pagination is context aware, meaning that label rows and row-group summaries (content rows) are repeated after (vertical) pagination, as appropriate. This allows the reader to immediately understand where they are in the table after turning to a new page, but does also mean that a rendered, paginated table will take up more lines of text than rendering the table without pagination would.

Pagination also takes into account word-wrapping of title, footer, column-label, and formatted cell value content.

Vertical pagination information (pagination data.frame) is created using (make_row_df).

Horizontal pagination is performed by creating a pagination data frame for the columns, and then applying the same algorithm used for vertical pagination to it.

If physical page size and font information are specified, these are used to derive lines-per-page (lpp) and characters-per-page (cpp) values.

The full multi-direction pagination algorithm then is as follows:

1. Adjust lpp and cpp to account for rendered elements that are not rows (columns):

• titles/footers/column labels, and horizontal dividers in the vertical pagination case

• row-labels, table_inset, and top-left materials in the horizontal case

1. Perform 'forced pagination' representing page-by row splits, generating 1 or more tables.

2. Perform vertical pagination separately on each table generated in (1).

3. Perform horizontal pagination on the entire table and apply the results to each table page generated in (1)-(2).

4. Return a list of subtables representing full bi-directional pagination.

Pagination in both directions is done using the Core Pagination Algorithm implemented in the formatters package:

Value

• pag_tt_indices returns a list of paginated-groups of row-indices of tt.

• paginate_table returns the subtables defined by subsetting by the indices defined by pag_tt_indices.

Pagination Algorithm

Pagination is performed independently in the vertical and horizontal directions based solely on a pagination data frame, which includes the following information for each row/column:

• Number of lines/characters rendering the row will take after word-wrapping (self_extent)

• The indices (reprint_inds) and number of lines (par_extent) of the rows which act as context for the row

• The row's number of siblings and position within its siblings

Given lpp (cpp) is already adjusted for rendered elements which are not rows/columns and a data frame of pagination information, pagination is performed via the following algorithm with start = 1.

Core Pagination Algorithm:

1. Initial guess for pagination position is start + lpp (start + cpp)

2. While the guess is not a valid pagination position, and guess > start, decrement guess and repeat.

   • An error is thrown if all possible pagination positions between start and start + lpp (start + cpp) would be ⁠< start⁠ after decrementing

3. Retain pagination index

4. If pagination point was less than NROW(tt) (ncol(tt)), set start to pos + 1, and repeat steps (1) - (4).

Validating Pagination Position:

Given an (already adjusted) lpp or cpp value, a pagination is invalid if:

• The rows/columns on the page would take more than (adjusted) lpp lines/cpp characters to render including:

  • word-wrapping

  • (vertical only) context repetition

• (vertical only) footnote messages and/or section divider lines take up too many lines after rendering rows

• (vertical only) row is a label or content (row-group summary) row

• (vertical only) row at the pagination point has siblings, and it has less than min_siblings preceding or following siblings

• pagination would occur within a sub-table listed in nosplitin

Examples

s_summary <- function(x) {
  if (is.numeric(x)) {
    in_rows(
      "n" = rcell(sum(!is.na(x)), format = "xx"),
      "Mean (sd)" = rcell(c(mean(x, na.rm = TRUE), sd(x, na.rm = TRUE)),
        format = "xx.xx (xx.xx)"
      ),
      "IQR" = rcell(IQR(x, na.rm = TRUE), format = "xx.xx"),
      "min - max" = rcell(range(x, na.rm = TRUE), format = "xx.xx - xx.xx")
    )
  } else if (is.factor(x)) {
    vs <- as.list(table(x))
    do.call(in_rows, lapply(vs, rcell, format = "xx"))
  } else {
    (
      stop("type not supported")
    )
  }
}

lyt <- basic_table() %>%
  split_cols_by(var = "ARM") %>%
  analyze(c("AGE", "SEX", "BEP01FL", "BMRKR1", "BMRKR2", "COUNTRY"), afun = s_summary)

tbl <- build_table(lyt, ex_adsl)
tbl

nrow(tbl)

row_paths_summary(tbl)

tbls <- paginate_table(tbl, lpp = 15)
mf <- matrix_form(tbl, indent_rownames = TRUE)
w_tbls <- propose_column_widths(mf) # so that we have the same column widths


tmp <- lapply(tbls, function(tbli) {
  cat(toString(tbli, widths = w_tbls))
  cat("\n\n")
  cat("~~~~ PAGE BREAK ~~~~")
  cat("\n\n")
})
