cells_title

Location helper for targeting the table title and subtitle


Description

The cells_title() function is used to target the table title or subtitle when applying a footnote with tab_footnote() or adding custom style with tab_style(). The function is expressly used in each of those functions' locations argument.

Usage

cells_title(groups = c("title", "subtitle"))

Arguments

groups

We can either specify "title" or "subtitle" to target the title element or the subtitle element.

Details

When using any of the location helper functions with an appropriate function that has a locations argument, multiple locations can be targeted by enclosing several cells_*() helper functions in a list(). The following helper functions can be used to target cells (roughly in order from the top to the bottom of a table):

  • cells_title(): targets the table title or the table subtitle depending on the value given to the groups argument ("title" or "subtitle").

  • cells_stubhead(): targets the stubhead location, a cell of which is only available when there is a stub; a label in that location can be created by using the tab_stubhead() function.

  • cells_column_spanners(): targets the spanner column labels, which appear above the column labels.

  • cells_column_labels(): targets the column labels.

  • cells_row_groups(): targets the row group labels in any available row groups using the groups argument.

  • cells_stub(): targets row labels in the table stub using the rows argument.

  • cells_body(): targets data cells in the table body using intersections of columns and rows.

  • cells_summary(): targets summary cells in the table body using the groups argument and intersections of columns and rows.

  • cells_grand_summary(): targets cells of the table's grand summary using intersections of columns and rows

Value

A list object of classes cells_title and location_cells.

# Use `sp500` to create a gt table; add
# a header with a title, and then add a
# footnote to the title with `tab_footnote()`
# and `cells_title()` (in `locations`)
tab_1 <-
  sp500 %>%
  dplyr::filter(
    date >= "2015-01-05" &
      date <="2015-01-10"
  ) %>%
  dplyr::select(
    -c(adj_close, volume, high, low)
  ) %>%
  gt() %>%
  tab_header(title = "S&P 500"
  ) %>%
  tab_footnote(
    footnote = "All values in USD.",
    locations = cells_title(groups = "title")
  )
