Every layout must start with a basic table.
Arguments
- title
(
string
)
single string to use as main title (main_title()
). Ignored for subtables.- subtitles
(
character
)
a vector of strings to use as subtitles (subtitles()
), where every element is printed on a separate line. Ignored for subtables.- main_footer
(
character
)
a vector of strings to use as main global (non-referential) footer materials (main_footer()
), where every element is printed on a separate line.- prov_footer
(
character
)
a vector of strings to use as provenance-related global footer materials (prov_footer()
), where every element is printed on a separate line.- show_colcounts
(
flag
)
whether column counts should be displayed in the resulting table when this layout is applied to data.- colcount_format
(
string
)
format for use when displaying the column counts. Must be 1d, or 2d where one component is a percent. See Details below.- header_section_div
(
string
)
string which will be used to divide the header from the table. Seeheader_section_div()
for the associated getter and setter. Please consider changing last element ofsection_div()
when concatenating tables that require a divider between them.- top_level_section_div
(
character(1)
)
if assigned a single character, the first (top level) split or division of the table will be highlighted by a line made of that character. See section_div for more information.- inset
(
numeric(1)
)
number of spaces to inset the table header, table body, referential footnotes, and main_footer, as compared to alignment of title, subtitle, and provenance footer. Defaults to 0 (no inset).
Value
A PreDataTableLayouts
object suitable for passing to further layouting functions, and to build_table()
.
Details
colcount_format
is ignored if show_colcounts
is FALSE
(the default). When show_colcounts
is TRUE
,
and colcount_format
is 2-dimensional with a percent component, the value component for the percent is always
populated with 1
(i.e. 100%). 1d formats are used to render the counts exactly as they normally would be,
while 2d formats which don't include a percent, and all 3d formats result in an error. Formats in the form of
functions are not supported for colcount
format. See formatters::list_valid_format_labels()
for the list
of valid format labels to select from.
Note
Because percent components in
colcount_format
are always populated with the value 1, we can get arguably strange results, such as that individual arm columns and a combined "all patients" column all list "100%" as their percentage, even though the individual arm columns represent strict subsets of the "all patients" column.Note that subtitles (
subtitles()
) and footers (main_footer()
andprov_footer()
) that span more than one line can be supplied as a character vector to maintain indentation on multiple lines.
