setBorder-methods {XLConnect}

Specifying borders for cell styles

Description

Specifies borders for a cellstyle.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'cellstyle'
setBorder(object,side,type,color)

Arguments

object

The cellstyle to edit

side

A vector with any combination of {"bottom", "left", "right", "top", "all"}

type

Specifies the border type to be used - it is normally specified by a corresponding XLC constant (see the XLC border constant, e.g. XLC$"BORDER.MEDIUM_DASHED")

color

Defines the border color and is normally also specified via an XLC constant.

Details

Specifies the border for a cellstyle. Note that the arguments type and color should be of the same length as side. In other words, for each specified side there should be a corresponding specification of type and color. If this is not the case the arguments will be automatically replicated to the length of side.
