flextable
flextable creation
Description
Create a flextable object with function flextable.
flextable are designed to make tabular reporting easier for
R users. Functions are available to let you format text, paragraphs and cells;
table cells can be merge vertically or horizontally, row headers can easilly
be defined, rows heights and columns widths can be manually set or automatically
computed.
Default formatting properties are automatically applied to every
flextable you produce. You can change these default values with
function set_flextable_defaults().
Usage
flextable( data, col_keys = names(data), cwidth = 0.75, cheight = 0.25, defaults = list(), theme_fun = theme_booktabs ) qflextable(data) regulartable(data, col_keys = names(data), cwidth = 0.75, cheight = 0.25)
Arguments

Details
A flextable is made of 3 parts: header, body and footer.
Most functions have an argument named part that will be used
to specify what part of of the table should be modified.
If working with R Markdown document, you should read about knitr
chunk options in knit_print.flextable() and about setting
default values with set_flextable_defaults().
