fmt_symbol_first {gtExtras}R Documentation

Aligning first-row text only

Description

This is an experimental function that allows you to apply a suffix/symbol to only the first row of a table, and maintain the alignment with whitespace in the remaining rows.

Usage

fmt_symbol_first(
  gt_object,
  column = NULL,
  symbol = NULL,
  suffix = "",
  decimals = NULL,
  last_row_n = NULL,
  symbol_first = FALSE,
  scale_by = NULL,
  gfont = NULL
)

Arguments

gt_object

An existing gt table object of class gt_tbl

column

columns to apply color to with tidyeval

symbol

The HTML code or raw character string of the symbol being inserted, optionally

suffix

a suffix to add, optionally

decimals

the number of decimal places to round to

last_row_n

Defining the last row to apply this to. The function will attempt to guess the proper length, but you can always hardcode a specific length.

symbol_first

TRUE/FALSE - symbol before after suffix.

scale_by

A numeric value to multiply the values by. Useful for scaling percentages from 0 to 1 to 0 to 100.

gfont

A string passed to gt::google_font() - Existing Google Monospaced fonts are available at: fonts.google.com
