# Summarytools 1.0 is out!
**summarytools** is a an [*R*](https://www.r-project.org) package for data
cleaning, exploring, and simple reporting. The package was developed with the
following objectives in mind:
- Provide a coherent set of easy-to-use descriptive functions that are akin to
those included in commercial statistical software suites such as SAS, SPSS,
and Stata
- Offer flexibility in terms of output format & content
- Integrate well with commonly used software & tools for reporting (the
[RStudio](https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/) IDE,
[Rmarkdown](https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/), and
[knitr](https://yihui.org/knitr/)) while also allowing for standalone,
simple report generation from any R interface
On a more personal level, I simply wish to share with the R community and the
scientific community at large the functions I first developed for myself, that I
ultimately realized would benefit a lot of people who are looking for the same
thing I was seeking in the first place.
## Support *summarytools*' Development
If **summarytools** helps you get things done, please consider making a
donation. By doing so now, you'll help me feel useful, but more importantly
contribute to the package's development and help other people like you who
benefit from its current and *future features*. I regularly receive feature
requests, and when I receive donations, I set aside some time to work on them,
making summarytools even more relevant for data scientists, students and
researchers around the world. No matter how small the amount is, I always
appreciate the gesture. A list of sponsors can be found [further
below](#sponsors).
# Package Documentation
The bulk of the technical documentation can now be found in the following
vignettes:
[**Introduction to summarytools**](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/dcomtois/summarytools/blob/master/doc/introduction.html) | [CRAN version](https://cran.r-project.org/package=summarytools/vignettes/introduction.html)
[**Summarytools in R Markdown**](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/dcomtois/summarytools/blob/master/doc/rmarkdown.html) | [CRAN Version](https://cran.r-project.org/packages=summarytools/vignettes/rmarkdown.html)
[**PDF Manual**](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/summarytools/summarytools.pdf) (automatically generated by CRAN)
# Installing summarytools
### Required Software
Additional software is used by **summarytools** for fine-tuning graphics as well
as offering interactive functionality. If you are installing **summarytools**
for the first time, click on the relevant link to get OS-specific instructions.
On Windows, no additional software is required.
Mac OS X
Ubuntu / Debian / Mint
Older Ubuntu (14 and 16)
Fedora / Red Hat / CentOS
Solaris
### Installing From GitHub
This method has the advantage of benefiting from minor fixes and improvements
that are added between CRAN releases. Its main drawback is that you won't be
noticed when a new version is available. You can either check this page from
time to time, or best, use a package that checks for package updates on various
repositories, such as [dtupdate](https://github.com/hrbrmstr/dtupdate) and
[Drat](https://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/drat.html).
```{r, eval=FALSE}
install.packages("remotes") # Using devtools is also possible
library(remotes)
install_github("rapporter/pander") # Strongly recommended
install_github("dcomtois/summarytools", build_vignettes = TRUE)
```
### Installing From CRAN
CRAN versions are stable but are not updated as often as the GitHub versions. On
the plus side, they can be easier to install on some systems.
```{r, eval=FALSE}
install.packages("summarytools")
```
# Latest Changes
- In `dfSummary()`:
- It is now possible to control which statistics to show in the *Freqs /
Values* column (see `help("st_options", "summarytools")` for examples)
- In *html* outputs, tables are better aligned horizontally
(categories \>\> counts \>\> charts); if misalignment occurs, adjusting
`graph.magnif` should resolve it
- List-type columns and `Inf` values are handled properly
- In `descr()` and `ctable()` several display glitches were corrected
- Selected heading elements can be totally omitted on an individual basis
- Improved functionality for customized terms / translations
For more details, see `vignette("introduction", "summarytools")` as well as
`news(package = "summarytools")`.
