Although rtables are represented as a tree data structure when outputting the table to ASCII or HTML, it is useful to map the rtable to an in-between state with the formatted cells in a matrix form.

Usage

matrix_form(
  obj,
  indent_rownames = FALSE,
  expand_newlines = TRUE,
  indent_size = 2,
  fontspec = NULL,
  col_gap = NULL,
  round_type = obj_round_type(obj)
)

# S4 method for class 'MatrixPrintForm'
matrix_form(
  obj,
  indent_rownames = FALSE,
  expand_newlines = TRUE,
  indent_size = 2,
  fontspec = NULL,
  col_gap = NULL,
  round_type = obj_round_type(obj)
)

Arguments

obj

(ANY)
object to be transformed into a ready-to-render form (a MatrixPrintForm object).

indent_rownames

(flag)
if TRUE, the row names column in the strings matrix of obj will have indented row names (strings pre-fixed).

expand_newlines

(flag)
whether the generated matrix form should expand rows whose values contain newlines into multiple 'physical' rows (as they will appear when rendered into ASCII). Defaults to TRUE.

indent_size

(numeric(1))
number of spaces to be used per level of indent (if supported by the relevant method). Defaults to 2.

fontspec

(font_spec)
a font_spec object specifying the font information to use for calculating string widths and heights, as returned by font_spec().

col_gap

(numeric(1))
the gap to be assumed between columns, in number of spaces with font specified by fontspec.

round_type

(string)
.
The type of rounding to perform. Allowed values: ("iec", "iec_mod" or "sas")
iec, the default, and iec_mod performs rounding compliant with IEC 60559 (see notes in round_fmt()), while sas performs nearest-value rounding consistent with rounding within SAS.
In addition, the rounding of a negative number that rounds to zero will be presented as 0 (with the appropriate number of trailing zeros) for both sas and iec_mod, while for iec, it will be presented as -0 (with the appropriate number of trailing zeros).

Value

A MatrixPrintForm classed list with an additional nrow_header attribute indicating the number of pseudo "rows" the column structure defines, with the following elements:

strings

The content, as it should be printed, of the top-left material, column headers, row labels, and cell values of tt.

spans

The column-span information for each print-string in the strings matrix.

aligns

The text alignment for each print-string in the strings matrix.

display

Whether each print-string in the strings matrix should be printed or not.

row_info

The data.frame generated by basic_pagdf().
