Summarize a data.frame as a flextable
Create a summary from a data.frame as a flextable. This function is to be used in an R Markdown document.
To use that function, you must declare it in the part df_print of the 'YAML'
header of your R Markdown document:
--- df_print: !expr function(x) flextable::df_printer(x) ---
We notice an unexpected behavior with bookdown. When using bookdown it
is necessary to use use_df_printer() instead in a setup run chunk:
use_df_printer()
df_printer(dat, ...)
dat |
the data.frame |
... |
unused argument |
'knitr' chunk options are available to customize the output:
ft_max_row: The number of rows to print. Default to 10.
ft_split_colnames: Should the column names be split
(with non alpha-numeric characters). Default to FALSE.
ft_short_strings: Should the character column be shorten.
Default to FALSE.
ft_short_size: Maximum length of character column if
ft_short_strings is TRUE. Default to 35.
ft_short_suffix: Suffix to add when character values are shorten.
Default to "...".
ft_do_autofit: Use autofit() before rendering the table.
Default to TRUE.
ft_show_coltype: Show column types.
Default to TRUE.
ft_color_coltype: Color to use for column types.
Default to "#999999".
