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.
set_flextable_defaults(
font.family = "Arial", font.size = 10,
border.color = "gray")
flextable(head(cars)) %>%
bold(part = "header") %>%
add_footer_lines("The 'cars' dataset")
ggplot2::diamonds |>
with(table(cut, color)) |>
as_flextable()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).
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.
