pillar: Coloured Formatting for Columns

Description

Formats tabular data in columns or rows using the full range of colours provided by modern terminals. Provides various generics for making every aspect of the display customizable.

Details

See pillar() for formatting a single column, and print.tbl() for formatting data-frame-like objects.

Package options

pillar.bold: Use bold font, e.g. for column headers? This currently defaults to FALSE, because many terminal fonts have poor support for bold fonts.
pillar.subtle: Use subtle style, e.g. for row numbers and data types? Default: TRUE.
pillar.subtle_num: Use subtle style for insignificant digits? Default: FALSE, is also affected by the pillar.subtle option.
pillar.neg: Highlight negative numbers? Default: TRUE.
pillar.sigfig: The number of significant digits that will be printed and highlighted, default: 3. Set the pillar.subtle option to FALSE to turn off highlighting of significant digits.
pillar.min_title_chars: The minimum number of characters for the column title, default: 15. Column titles may be truncated up to that width to save horizontal space. Set to Inf to turn off truncation of column titles.
pillar.min_chars: The minimum number of characters wide to display character columns, default: 0. Character columns may be truncated up to that width to save horizontal space. Set to Inf to turn off truncation of character columns.
pillar.max_dec_width: The maximum allowed width for decimal notation, default 13.
