The flextable package provides a framework for easily create tables for
reporting and publications. Tables can be easily formatted with
a set of verbs such as `bold()`, `color()`, they can receive a
header of more than one line, cells can be merged or contain
an image. The package make it possible to build any table for
publication from a `data.frame` and provides sugar function
`as_flextable()` to convert several R objects to a flextable,
such as an object return from `table()` or a model.
Tables can be embedded within HTML, PDF, Word and PowerPoint documents
from R Markdown documents and within RTF or Microsoft Word or PowerPoint
documents with package officer. Tables can also be rendered as R plots
or graphic files (png).
```{r eval=FALSE}
flextable(mtcars) %>%
theme_vanilla() %>%
save_as_docx(path = "mytable.docx")
```
A `flextable` object is a data.frame representation. An API is available to let
R users create tables for reporting and control their formatting properties and
their layout. The package provides functions that give control over:
- header, body and footer content
- text, paragraphs, cells and border formatting of any element
- displayed values
The package also offers a set of high-level functions that allow tabular
reporting of statistical models and the creation of complex cross tabulations.
## Examples
```{r 'mtcars-dataset', message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(flextable)
set_flextable_defaults(
font.family = "Arial", font.size = 10,
border.color = "gray", big.mark = "")
ft <- flextable(head(mtcars)) |>
bold(part = "header")
ft
ft |>
highlight(i = ~ mpg < 22, j = "disp", color = "#ffe842") |>
bg(j = c("hp", "drat", "wt"),
bg = scales::col_quantile(palette = c("wheat", "red"), domain =NULL)) |>
add_footer_lines("The 'mtcars' dataset")
```
```{r 'diamonds-dataset'}
ggplot2::diamonds[, c("cut", "carat", "price", "clarity", "table")] |>
summarizor(by = c("cut")) |>
as_flextable(spread_first_col = TRUE)
```
