Alignment helper

Description

Facilitates easy alignment of strings within a character vector. Designed to help implementers of formatters for custom data types.

Usage

align(x, width = NULL, align = c("left", "right"), space = " ")

Arguments

x	A character vector
width	The width that each string is padded to. If NULL, the maximum display width of the character vector is used (see get_max_extent()).
align	How should strings be aligned? If align = left then padding appears on the right, and vice versa.
space	What character should be used for the padding?

Examples

align(c("abc", "de"), align = "left")
align(c("abc", "de"), align = "right")
