put_gap: Insert a gap or whitespace in a document.

Description

Creates white space in a document by creating an empty plot in ggplot2. Border and fill can be specified to create a box. The defaults are transparent.

Usage

put_gap(col = NULL, fill = NULL)

Arguments

col
: Border color, default is "transparent"
fill
: Fill color, default is "transparent"

Value

Prints the box to the output document.

Details

Allows the author of Rmd to docx documents to insert a vertical white space of specified height, particularly useful in creating documents that users are expected to write in, such as workshop or student lab materials.

The dimensions of the gap are determined when it is printed, e.g., using knitr in an R Markdown script, the box height in inches is set with the fig.height code chunk option.

Examples

Run this code
put_gap()
put_gap(col = "gray")
put_gap(col = "black", fill = "gray")

## Not run: 
# # In an R Markdown script
# ```{r fig.height = 0.75}
# put_gap()
# ```## End(Not run)
