align.decimal: Format Numeric Vectors Specially

In metrumrg: Pharmacometric Tools for Data Preparation, Modeling, Simulation, and Reporting

Description

Format a numeric vector so that decimal mark is a constant distance from the end or beginning of each element.

Usage

align.decimal(x, decimal.mark = ".", ...)
padded(x,width = 4,...)

Arguments

x	numeric
decimal.mark	character indicating decimal
width	numeric indicating total digits
...	ignored

Details

for align.decimal, each element is formatted separately using prettyNum, then the character results are padded with spaces on the right, so that the decimals align. Whole numbers without the decimal mark get an extra space in its place.

For padded, x (numeric) is formatted with zero decimal places, no decimal, and enough leading zeros to ensure width width.

Value

character
