RowFactor

Use a variable as a factor to give rows in a table.

Description

The functions take a variable and treat it as a factor in a table. RowFactor is designed for LaTeX output, adding extra spacing to make the table more readable. Multicolumn also works only in LaTeX, and displays the label in a style with the level on a line by itself, spanning multiple columns.

Usage

Factor(x, name = deparse(expr), levelnames = levels(x), 
       texify = getOption("tables.texify", FALSE), 
       expr = substitute(x), override = TRUE)
RowFactor(x, name = deparse(expr), 
	  levelnames = levels(x), 
          spacing = 3, space = 1, suppressfirst = TRUE,
          nopagebreak = "\\nopagebreak ",
          texify = getOption("tables.texify", FALSE), 
          expr = substitute(x),
          override = TRUE)
Multicolumn(x, name = deparse(expr), levelnames = levels(x), 
            width=2, first=1, justify="l",
            texify = getOption("tables.texify", FALSE), 
            expr = substitute(x),
            override = TRUE)

Arguments

`x`	A variable to be treated as a factor.
`name`	The display name for the factor.
`levelnames`	The strings to use as levels of `x`.
`texify`	If `TRUE`, characters that would be interpreted specially by LaTeX are escaped (using `latexTranslate`) so they will print properly.
`expr`	The expression to use in evaluating the factor. Generally the same as the expression passed as `x`, but internal uses may differ.
`override`	Should the name for the factor override any previously specified `Heading()` setting?
`spacing`	Extra spacing will be added before every `spacing` lines.
`space`	How much extra space to add, in `ex` units.
`suppressfirst`	Whether to suppress the spacing in the first group.
`nopagebreak`	LaTeX macro to insert to suppress page breaks except between groups.
`width`	How many columns should the label span?
`first`	Which is the first column in which this label appears?
`justify`	How should the label be justified in the columns?

Value

Language to insert into the table formula to achieve the desired table.

Examples

tabular( Factor(1:10, "row") ~
       All(iris[1:10,])*Heading()*identity )
toLatex( tabular( RowFactor(1:10, "", 5)  ~ 
       All(iris[1:10,])*Heading()*identity ))
