It will work not just on numeric data, but on any numbers found in a cell.

set_number_format(jams, 2) changes how numbers within cells are displayed.

It’s like setting left_padding on all the cells on the left side of the huxtable, top_padding on the top, and so on.

set_outer_padding(jams, 0) sets the padding around the outside of the huxtable to 0.

If you’re familiar with HTML, you’ll know how this works. Cell padding is the amount of space on each side of a table cell. We could have called set_left_padding(10) and so on, but this is a convenient shortcut. Really, these functions evaluate to: jams % set_all_padding(10) sets four properties on every cell of the huxtable: the left_padding, right_padding, top_padding and bottom_padding property. So you can chain them together using the magrittr pipe. The functions return the modified huxtable. Set_caption('Pots of jam for sale') Pots of jam for sale TypeĪll these functions set one or more properties on the huxtable. In knitr documents, like this one, you can simply evaluate the huxtable: jams Type To print a huxtable as LaTeX or HTML, just call print_latex or print_html. print_screen(jams) # on the R command line, you can just type 'jams' # Type Price The data will start on row 2 of the huxtable, and the column names will be row 1. We’re going to print them out, so they need to be part of the actual table. Notice that we’ve added the column names to the data. If you look at a huxtable in R, it will print out a simple representation of the data. You can convert a data frame to a huxtable with as_hux. Type = c('Strawberry', 'Raspberry', 'Plum'), There are two columns, representing the kind of jam, and its price: library(huxtable) Let’s suppose we want to print a table of jams that we have for sale.

To create a huxtable, use the function huxtable, or hux for short.

But this cell will also have some other properties - for example, the font size of the text, or the colour of the cell border.

So, if myhux is a huxtable, then myhux represents the data in row 1 column 2, as before. For example, if mydata is a data frame, then mydata represents the the data in row 1, column 2.Ī huxtable is just a data frame with some extra properties. You already know that R can represent a table of data in a data frame. A huxtable is an R object representing a table of text.
