Automatically Format Export Tables
Suggest an appropriate alignment, number of digits, and display type
for xtable.
autoformat(xtab, zap = getOption("digits"))
xalign(x, pad = TRUE)
xdigits(x, pad = TRUE, zap = getOption("digits"))
xdisplay(x, pad = TRUE)xtab |
an object of class |
x |
a vector, matrix, or data frame. |
pad |
whether to format row names, when |
zap |
the number of digits passed to |
autoformat returns a copy of xtab, after applying
xalign, xdigits, and xdisplay.
xalign returns a character vector consisting of "l" and
"r" elements, for left/right alignment.
xdigits returns an integer vector.
xdisplay returns a character vector of "d", "f",
and "s" elements, for integer/double/string display.

## 1 Vector
xalign(precip)
xdigits(precip)
xdisplay(precip)
## 2 Data frame
head(mtcars)
xdigits(mtcars, pad = FALSE)
xdigits(mtcars, pad = TRUE)
xalign(mtcars)
xdisplay(mtcars)
## 3 Autoformat when xtable is created
xtable(mtcars, align = xalign(mtcars), digits = xdigits(mtcars),
display = xdisplay(mtcars))
## equivalent shortcut
xtable(mtcars, auto = TRUE)
## 4 Autoformat existing xtable
mt <- xtable(mtcars)
align(mt) <- xalign(mt)
digits(mt) <- xdigits(mt)
display(mt) <- xdisplay(mt)
## equivalent shortcut
mt <- autoformat(mt)Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
