cols_unhide: Unhide one or more columns
Description
The cols_unhide() function allows us to take one or more hidden columns
(usually made so via the cols_hide() function) and make them visible
in the final output table. This may be important in cases where the user
obtains a gt_tbl object with hidden columns and there is motivation to
reveal one or more of those.
Usage
cols_unhide(data, columns)Value
An object of class gt_tbl.
Arguments
- data
A table object that is created using the
gt()function.- columns
The column names to unhide from the output display table. Values provided that do not correspond to column names will be disregarded.
Examples
Use countrypops to create a gt table. Hide the country_code_2 and
country_code_3 columns with cols_hide().
tab_1 <-
countrypops %>%
dplyr::filter(country_name == "Mongolia") %>%
tail(5) %>%
gt() %>%
cols_hide(columns = c(country_code_2, country_code_3))tab_1
If the tab_1 object is provided without the code or source data to
regenerate it, and, the user wants to reveal otherwise hidden columns then
the cols_unhide() function becomes useful.
tab_1 %>% cols_unhide(columns = country_code_2)
Function ID
4-9
Details
The hiding and unhiding of columns is internally a rendering directive, so,
all columns that are 'hidden' are still accessible and useful in any
expression provided to a rows argument. The cols_unhide() function
quietly changes the visible state of a column (much like the cols_hide()
function) and doesn't yield warnings or messages when changing the state of
already-visible columns.
