flextable (version 0.7.0)

as_equation: equation chunk

Description

This function is used to insert equations into flextable with function compose(). It should be used inside a call to as_paragraph().

To use this function, package 'equatags' is required; also equatags::mathjax_install() must be executed only once to install necessary dependencies.

Usage

as_equation(x, width = 1, height = 0.2, unit = "in")

Arguments

x

values containing the 'MathJax' equations

width, height

size of the resulting equation in inches

unit

unit for width and height, one of "in", "cm", "mm".

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(flextable)
if(require("equatags") && mathjax_available()){

eqs <- c(
  "(ax^2 + bx + c = 0)",
  "a \\ne 0",
  "x = {-b \\pm \\sqrt{b^2-4ac} \\over 2a}")
df <- data.frame(formula = eqs)
df


ft <- flextable(df)
ft <- compose(
  x = ft, j = "formula",
  value = as_paragraph(as_equation(formula, width = 2, height = .5)))
ft <- align(ft, align = "center", part = "all")
ft <- width(ft, width = 2)
ft
