Table Padding

Source: R/table-format.R

A family of functions for formatting numbers and then padding with spaces so that table columns can be both centered and decimal aligned.

pad_counts(x, digits = 0L)

pad_prop(x, digits, fmt_small = TRUE, keep_zero = FALSE, output = NULL)

pad_corr(x, digits, output = NULL)

pad_decimal(x, digits, output = NULL)

Arguments

x

Number or number string to be formatted

digits

Number of decimal places to retain

fmt_small

Indicator for replacing zero with < (e.g., .000 becomes < .001). Default is TRUE.

keep_zero

If fmt_small is TRUE, whether to preserve true 0s (e.g., 0.0000001 becomes <.001, but 0.0000000 stays .000).

output

The output type for the rendered document. One of "latex" or "html".

Value

A character vector of the same length as x.

Details

pad_counts should be used to pad integer numbers. This wraps base::format() to add a comma separator.

pad_prop should be used to pad decimal numbers between [0,1]. This wraps fmt_prop() to round to a specified number of digits and optionally remove the leading zero.

pad_corr should be used to pad decimal numbers between [-1,1]. This wraps fmt_corr(), and is similar to pad_prop, but accounts for negative numbers when adding padding.

pad_decimal should be used to pad decimal number that are not bounded. This wraps fmt_digits() to round to a specified number of decimal places.
