px: Helper for providing a numeric value as pixels value

In rstudio/gt: Easily Create Presentation-Ready Display Tables

Helper for providing a numeric value as pixels value

Description

For certain parameters, a length value is required. Examples include the setting of font sizes (e.g., in cell_text()) and thicknesses of lines (e.g., in cell_borders()). Setting a length in pixels with px() allows for an absolute definition of size as opposed to the analogous helper function pct().

Usage

px(x)

Arguments

x	Numeric length in pixels ⁠scalar<numeric|integer>⁠ // required The numeric value to format as a string (e.g., "12px") for some tab_options() arguments that can take values as units of pixels (e.g., table.font.size).

Value

A character vector with a single value in pixel units.

Examples

Use the exibble dataset to create a gt table. Inside of the cell_text() call (which is itself inside of tab_style()), we'll use the px() helper function to define the font size for the column labels in units of pixels.

exibble |>
  gt() |>
  tab_style(
    style = cell_text(size = px(20)),
    locations = cells_column_labels()
  )
