Head and tail type tabularise generic (tabularise$headtail)

The "headtail" type for tabularise presents the first (head) and last (tail) few lines of a table. This is useful for a long table and often more useful than just displaying only the first few lines of the same table (that you got with the default type, see tabularise_default()).

Usage

tabularise_headtail(data, n = 10, ..., kind = "ft", env = env)

# S3 method for default
tabularise_headtail(data, n = 10, ..., kind = "ft", env = env)

# S3 method for data.frame
tabularise_headtail(
  data,
  n = 10,
  auto.labs = TRUE,
  sep = "...",
  ...,
  lang = getOption("data.io_lang", "en"),
  kind = "ft",
  env = env
)

Arguments

data

An object

n

The number of lines to display in the (truncated) table.

...

Further arguments (depending on the object class).

kind

The kind of table to produce: "tt" for tinytable, or "ft" for flextable (default).

env

The environment where to evaluate formulas (you probably do not need to change the default).

auto.labs

Are labels automatically used for names of table columns?

sep

The separator between the first and last lines of a table. By default, the vertical ellipse shape is used.

lang

the natural language to use. The default value can be set with, e.g., options(data.io_lang = "fr") for French.

Value

A flextable object you can print in different form or rearrange with the {flextable} functions from set Stb$verb().
