Translates a table created with tablespan to a great table (gt). See <https://gt.rstudio.com/>.

Usage

as_gt(
  tbl,
  groupname_col = NULL,
  separator_style = NULL,
  auto_format = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

tbl

table created with tablespan::tablespan

groupname_col

Provide column names to group data. See ?gt::gt for more details.

separator_style

style of the vertical line that separates the row names from the data.

auto_format

should the table be formatted automatically?

...

additional arguments passed to gt::gt().

Value

gt table that can be further adapted with the gt package.

Details

Tablespan itself does not provide any printing of tables as HTML table. However, with as_gt, tablespan can be translated to a great table which provides html and LaTeX output.

Examples

library(tablespan)
library(dplyr)
data("mtcars")

summarized_table <- mtcars |>
  group_by(cyl, vs) |>
  summarise(N = n(),
            mean_hp = mean(hp),
            sd_hp = sd(hp),
            mean_wt = mean(wt),
            sd_wt = sd(wt))
#> `summarise()` has grouped output by 'cyl'. You can override using the `.groups`
#> argument.

tbl <- tablespan(data = summarized_table,
                 formula = (LHS = Cylinder:cyl + Engine:vs) ~
                   N +
                   (Results = (`Horse Power` = Mean:mean_hp + SD:sd_hp) +
                      (`Weight` = Mean:mean_wt + SD:sd_wt)))
if(require_gt(throw = FALSE)){
  gt_tbl <- as_gt(tbl)
  gt_tbl
}
