leading.blanks: Add leading blanks.

In claus-e-andersen/clanTools: R functions of general use for data analysis and presentation

Add leading blanks.

Description

Add leading blanks. This is to align data in Latex tables. Changed from: cc.width <- nchar(as.character(cc)) to: cc.width <- nchar(as.character(cc),type="width") Why? To avoid problems with NA's in dataframes in txtplot. Main purpose: to align data in Latex tables. The ignore.first parameters controls the first row (often a row with names). For example:

xx <- data.frame(sample(c(1,1055500,10),10,replace=T),sample(c("a","aba","sfgsdfgfhgd"),10,replace=T))

xx.LATEX <- create.latex.table(xx)

yy <- leading.blanks(xx.LATEX,"x")

yy write.table(yy,"xx.txt",sep=" ",dimnames.write = F)

Usage

leading.blanks(xx.LATEX,"x") See example in body of function.
