Creates a style object

Description

This function will create a style object to control background colors and font settings on your report. The style object can be applied to a report using the add_style function. Currently, styles may only be applied to HTML reports.

Usage

create_style(
  font_name = NULL,
  font_size = NULL,
  text_color = NULL,
  background_color = NULL,
  title_font_size = NULL,
  title_font_bold = NULL,
  title_font_color = NULL,
  title_background = NULL,
  footnote_font_bold = NULL,
  footnote_font_color = NULL,
  footnote_background = NULL,
  border_color = NULL,
  table_header_background = NULL,
  table_header_font_bold = NULL,
  table_header_font_color = NULL,
  table_body_background = NULL,
  table_body_stripe = NULL,
  table_body_font_color = NULL,
  table_stub_background = NULL,
  table_stub_font_color = NULL,
  table_stub_font_bold = NULL,
  table_label_row_bold = NULL
)

Arguments

font_name	The name of the font to use on the report. Valid values are "Courier", "Arial", or "Times". The default is "Courier".
font_size	The default font size to use for the report. This font size will be used for all text, unless overridden by another font size parameter.
text_color	The default color to use for all text in the report. This parameter will apply to the entire report, unless overridden by other font color settings.
background_color	The color to use for the background of the report. This color will appear everywhere on the document unless overridden by another color specification.
title_font_size	The font size to use for the title font in points.
title_font_bold	Whether to bold the title or not. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE. By default, the title will not be bold.
title_font_color	The color to use for the title font.
title_background	The background color for the title block.
footnote_font_bold	Whether to bold the footnote or not. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE. By default, the footnote will not be bold.
footnote_font_color	The font color to use for footnotes.
footnote_background	The color to be used for the background of footnotes.
border_color	The color to use for all borders in the report. By default, the border will be black.
table_header_background	The background color to use in the table header. This color may be different than the background color used in the table body.
table_header_font_bold	Whether to bold the header labels or not. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE. By default, the header will not be bold.
table_header_font_color	The font color to use on the table header.
table_body_background	The background color to use in the body of any table in the report.
table_body_stripe	The background color to use for every other row in a table. The stripe color is used in conjunction with the body background color to perform table striping. The stripe color will start on the second row.
table_body_font_color	The font color to use for the body of any table in the report.
table_stub_background	The background color to use for the stub column, if one exists on the table.
table_stub_font_color	The font color to be used for the stub column, if one exists on the table.
table_stub_font_bold	Whether or not to bold the stub column. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE.
table_label_row_bold	Whether or not to bold the label row on a stub column. This parameter is so you can bold the label row, but not the values in the stub column. Valid values are TRUE and FALSE.

Details

The style object contains style settings for a report. The style object allows you to control background colors and font specifications such as font size, font color, and font bold. The style object can be created once and reused on many reports. See the add_style function to learn how to add the style object to a report.

Note that styles will be applied uniformly to the entire report. Also note that at present, styles can be used only on HTML output types. Future versions of the reporter package will provide style support for other output types.

On the style object, colors for background and fonts may be passed as an RGB hex code or a color name. For example, the color red may be passed as the hex code "#FF0000" or as the color name "Red". Color names must conform to HTML/CSS standards. These color names can be easily discovered on the internet. A sample of common color names is presented below.

Color Names

Many of the parameters on the style object accept a color name or code. The values accepted for these parameters follow standard HTML/CSS style color values. Below is a sample of common color names that can be used to specify colors with the create_style function. These color names should be passed as a quoted string:

• Primary and Secondary Colors: Black, White, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple and Brown.

• Common Shades: Beige, Crimson, Gold, Indigo, Ivory, Lavender, Maroon, Navy, Olive, Pink, Plum, RoyalBlue, Silver, Teal, Turquoise, Violet

• Shades of White: AntiqueWhite, Azure, GhostWhite, SeaShell, Snow, WhiteSmoke
