  gt_object,
  columns,
  palette = NULL,
  ...,
  domain = NULL,
  width = 70,
  font_weight = "bold"
)

Arguments

gt_object

An existing gt table object of class gt_tbl

columns

The columns wherein changes to cell data colors should occur.

palette

The colours or colour function that values will be mapped to. Can be a character vector (eg c("white", "red") or hex colors) or a named palette from the {paletteer} package in the package::palette_name structure. Note that 'pff' will fill in a blue -> green -> yellow -> orange -> red palette.

...

Additional arguments passed to scales::label_number(), primarily used to format the numbers inside the color box

domain

The possible values that can be mapped. This should be a simple numeric range (e.g. c(0, 100))

width

The width of the entire coloring area in pixels.

font_weight

A string indicating the font weight, defaults to "bold", change to "normal" for default weight.

Value

Examples

library(gt)
test_data <- dplyr::tibble(x = letters[1:10],
                    y = seq(100, 10, by = -10),
                    z = seq(10, 100, by = 10))
color_box_tab <- test_data %>%
  gt() %>%
  gt_color_box(columns = y, domain = 0:100, palette = "ggsci::blue_material") %>%
  gt_color_box(columns = z, domain = 0:100,
               palette = c("purple", "lightgrey", "green"))
