flextable wrapper

Description

A wrapper function for flextable::flextable() with some of my preferred formatting for simple tables.

Usage

flex_print(
  x,
  font_name = "Arial",
  font_size = 11,
  align = NULL,
  align_j = NULL,
  auto_fit = TRUE,
  width = NULL,
  width_j = NULL,
  width_unit = "in",
  col_nms = NULL,
  col_lbls = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  subtitle = NULL,
  footer = NULL,
  title_size = 16,
  subtitle_size = 11,
  footer_size = 11,
  na_dflt = "NA",
  nan_dflt = "NaN"
)

Arguments

x	dataset
font_name	single character value, the font family name. With Word and PowerPoint output, the value specifies the font to be used to format characters in the Unicode range (U+0000-U+007F). For "all" table parts.
font_size	integer value (points). For "all" table parts.
align	Column alignment: a character vector consisting of 'l' (left), 'c' (center), 'r' (right), and/or 'j' (justify). By default or if align = NULL, numeric columns are right-aligned, and other columns are left-aligned. If length(align) == 1L, the string will be expanded to a vector of individual letters, e.g. 'clc' becomes c('c', 'l', 'c').
align_j	Column selection for align argument. Default is 1:length(align).
auto_fit	Logical (Default is FALSE). See flextable::autofit()
width	width in inches as a character vector.
width_j	columns selection for width.
width_unit	unit for width, one of "in", "cm", "mm".
col_nms	Names of columns to be labelled.
col_lbls	Labels to apply to columns different from column names.
title	The text for the title.
subtitle	The text for the subtitle which will be displayed below the title.
footer	The text for the footer which will be displayed below the body of the table.
title_size	Font size for the title. Default is 16.
subtitle_size	Font size for the subtitle. Default is 11.
footer_size	Font size for the footer Default is 11.
na_dflt, nan_dflt	string to be used for NA and NaN values.

Value

A flextable

Examples

flex_print(x = head(iris))

flex_print(x = head(iris),
           font_name = "Lato",
           title = "Edgar Anderson's Iris Data",
           title_size = 16,
           subtitle = "Just the head")

flex_print(x = head(iris),
           font_name = "Lato",
           title = "Edgar Anderson's Iris Data",
           title_size = 16)

flex_print(x = head(iris),
           font_name = "Times New Roman",
           title = "Edgar Anderson's Iris Data",
           title_size = 16,
           footer = "The data were collected by Anderson, Edgar (1935)...")

flex_print(x = head(iris),
           align = c("c"),
           col_lbls = c("Sepal Length",
                        "Sepal Width",
                        "Petal Length",
                        "Petal Width",
                        "Species"))


flex_print(x = head(iris),
           align = c("c"),
           col_nms = names(head(iris)),
           col_lbls = c("Sepal\nLength",
                        "Sepal\nWidth",
                        "Petal Length",
                        "Petal Width",
                        "Species"),
           font_size = 16)
