flextable: flextable creation

Description

Create a flextable object with function flextable.

flextable are designed to make tabular reporting easier for R users. Functions are available to let you format text, paragraphs and cells; table cells can be merge vertically or horizontally, row headers can easilly be defined, rows heights and columns widths can be manually set or automatically computed.

Default formatting properties are automatically applied to every flextable you produce. You can change these default values with function set_flextable_defaults().

Usage

flextable(
  data,
  col_keys = names(data),
  cwidth = 0.75,
  cheight = 0.25,
  defaults = list(),
  theme_fun = theme_booktabs
)
qflextable(data)
regulartable(data, col_keys = names(data), cwidth = 0.75, cheight = 0.25)
