rtables 0.6.2

• Fixed major regressions for page_by machinery caused by migration to formatters 0.5.1 pagination framework.
• Fixed page_by labels become missing when only one level exist in the split_rows_by.
• Fixed a bug when dropping var levels but not lblvar levels.
• Added checks to catch bad labels (with {}) and throw informative error.

rtables 0.6.1

CRAN release: 2023-05-25

• Improved resilience of pagination machinery (paginate_table) by generalizing parameters’ defaults (cpp, lpp, and font_size).
• Moved export_as_txt to formatters. Added to reexports.
• Migrated export_as_rtf to formatters. Not re-exported.
• add r2rtf to Suggests
• pagination logic has been migrated completely (excepting page_by splits) to formatters and is now invoked from there. paginate_table remains as a convenience function.
• Removed warning in str method when called upon table objects.
• Provide str method for VTableTree objects with a default max.level of 3, as the infinite default from base is not useful or informative.
• default font_size value is now 8 across pagination and export machinery
• margins argument in pagination and export machinery now (correctly) interpreted as inches. This change is inherited from formatters
• lpp and cpp now default to NA_integer_, which is interpreted as inferring their value from the physical page size specified.
• Horizontal pagination now occurs by default due to the above (because there is a default page type - "letter". Pagination can still be turned off in either direction by setting l/cpp to NULL explicitly.
• Referential footnotes now have both a symbol and an index. Messages associated with symbols will only appear once per page in the footer materials regardless of number of elements referenced in the page with that symbol. Matches and inherits from changes in formatters
• Started deprecation cycle for trim_zero_rows.
• Fixed bug occurring when extracting cell_values after sorting.
• Removed deprecated function vpaginate_table.
• Added examples and details for sort_at_path.
• Added split_label to function split_rows_by_multivar and extra_args to function split_cols_by_multivar.
• Added split_rows_by_multivar documentation.

rtables 0.3.6

CRAN release: 2021-01-22

Documentation revisions as requested by CRAN. No change to package code.

rtables 0.3.5

Documentation-text only changes to introduction vignette to pass CRAN’s URL checks. All package, example, test, and vignette code fully identical to that in tagged GitHub release 0.3.4

rtables 0.3.4

Minor changes to the 0.3.3 version in order to submit rtables to CRAN.

rtables 0.3.3

This version completely refactors the rtables package. We do provide a backwards compatibility layer with the rtable, rcell, rrow, rheader, and rtabulate family of functions. However the table data structure and main tabulation framework have changed. We provide extensive documentation in the manuals help(package = "rtables") and vignettes vignette(package = "rtables") of the package.

The changes to rtables have been undertaken to better meet the requirements of creating and analyzing & reporting tables in the context of clinical trials.

rtables 0.3.2.17.9046

• make_afun now force()s all customization arguments immediately, which prevents problems when called within loop/lapply constructs.

rtables 0.3.2.17.9045

• Tabulation machinery no longer removes NAs mandatorily in some cases, including multivar column splits
• analyze_colvars’s inclNAs argument now respected.

rtables 0.3.2.17.9044

• Fix indent modifier propagation during tabulation
• Fix indent calculation in make_pagdf
• Add significant testing to ensure make_pagdf indent calculation remains correct

rtables 0.3.2.17.9043

• Rework how reference columns are handled so analyses which use .in_ref_col and .ref_group work correctly when custom splitting is used (including the provided combination-levels mechanism)

rtables 0.3.2.17.9042

• Fix naming/pathing for columns in multivar case (split itself now has default name "multivars")
• Fix labeling bug when same variable appears multiple times in MultiVarSplit with different associated levels

rtables 0.3.2.17.9041

• Allow single variable to be used within split_cols_by_multivar
• Various removal of defunct

rtables 0.3.2.17.9040

• Fix regression caused by 0.3.2.17.9039 where column split values were displayed by name rather than label.

rtables 0.3.2.17.9039

• Fix bug in display of column information when column structure is not symmetric, as with recursive cbinds.

rtables 0.3.2.17.9036

• Fixed bug in row subsetting when table has only content rows.
• Basic compare_rtables function now works as in previous versions, no awareness of row or column structure.

rtables 0.3.2.17.9036

• summarize_row_groups can now accept a list of functions for the cfun argument as analyze_colvars does.

rtables 0.3.2.17.9035

• Fix bug unearthed by change in 0.3.2.17.9034 where cell formats not retained during column subsetting

rtables 0.3.2.17.9034

• Fix internal value_formats accessor so it operates on CellValues rather than the raw contained values (thus always returning NULL)
• rrow constructor no longer interprets cell formats a row format when they are the same across all cells. Fixes bug in “correct way” code discussed in #112

rtables 0.3.2.17.9033

• Interpret .formats in in_rows as cell formats rather than row formats.

rtables 0.3.2.17.9031

• cbind_rtables can now take more than 2 tables.

rtables 0.3.2.17.9029

rtables 0.1.6

• Minor changes.

rtables 0.1.5

• Changed testing approach to fit internal pipelines.

rtables 0.1.4

• Replaced dots to underscore in class checking functions.

rtables 0.1.3

  • label, var_labels<-, var_labels, var_labels_remove, var_relabel, with_label.
• Other new functions:
  • cbing_rtables.
  • empty_rtables, is_empty_rtable, is_non_empty_rtable, is_rtable.
  • header_indent, header_indent<-, header_row.names, header_row.names<-.
  • insert_rrow.

rtables 0.1.2

• rbind.rtable now supports binding rtables with rows, e.g. rbind(tbl1, rrow(), tbl2) or rbind(tbl1, rrow("row name"), tbl2).
• rbindl_rtables supports NULL objects in the list (except for the first element).
• Add indent function.
• header_add_N deals gracefully with NULL objects.

• rtabulate has now an argument col_N and the function col_N().

rtables 0.1.0

• Version 0.1.0 is a major re-design with lots of internal refactoring and the following API changes:
  • Redesign: rtable has now header argument instead of col.names. A header can be created with rheader and is a collection of rrows. If header is set to c("A", "B") then rtable will create the rheader with a single rrow and by setting row.name to NULL.
  • header and header<- function added.
  • Renamed get_rcell_formats to list_rcell_format_labels.
  • If rcell format is NULL then the cell content will be converted to a string with paste(as.character(x), collapse = ', ').
  • Accessor [i,] works now to subset a table.
  • rbind method for rtables.
  • row.names<-.rtable method.
  • rtabulate added for creating tables.
  • indented_row.names function added.

rtables 0.0.1

• Initial public release
