Both techniques are described below. ### Dynamic scaling For {tfrmt} and {gt} tables, {docorator} will make its best attempt to fit the display to the allotted area. Specifically, using the default setting of `tbl_scale = TRUE` will adjust all of the columns to fit the allotted display. This option will first size the stub column(s) (i.e. those columns on the left-hand side containing row group/label information) according to `tbl_stub_pct` option, then make the remaining columns equal width. {docorator} uses the function `scale_gt()` to apply table sizing under the hood. There is no need to call this function directly for the pdf creation but it is used to illustrate the examples below. Let's say we have a table with 1 stub column and 4 other columns, like so: ```{r} library(gt) mytbl <- gtcars |> dplyr::slice_head(n = 10) |> dplyr::select(mfr, model, year, msrp, ctry_origin) |> gt(rowname_col = "mfr") |> tab_style( style = cell_borders(c("left","right")), locations = list(cells_body(), cells_stub(), cells_column_labels()) ) mytbl ``` If we set `tbl_stub_pct=0.4`, the stub column will occupy 40% of the full width, and the 4 data columns will each occupy 15% of the full width, totaling 100% width. ```{r} mytbl |> scale_gt(tbl_stub_pct = 0.4) ``` For a table with 2 stub columns, like the one below, settings `tbl_stub_pct=0.4` will result 20% width for each stub column, resulting in 40% total for both stubs. ```{r} mytbl <- gtcars |> dplyr::slice_head(n = 10) |> dplyr::select(mfr, model, year, msrp, ctry_origin) |> gt( groupname_col = "ctry_origin", rowname_col = "mfr", row_group_as_column = TRUE) |> tab_style( style = cell_borders(c("left","right")), locations = list(cells_body(), cells_stub(), cells_column_labels()) ) mytbl ``` ```{r} mytbl |> scale_gt(tbl_stub_pct = 0.4) ``` ### Manual scaling For full control over column widths, it is recommended to use `gt::cols_width()` on the table prior to {docorator}. By default, {docorator}'s dynamic scaling will override these widths, so it is important to set `tbl_scale = FALSE`. Note: only widths specified in % (i.e using either "5%" or pct(5)) are accepted. If widths are specified in px then a warning will be issued and dynamic scaling will apply. Widths should also total no more than 100%. If only a subset of the columns are covered in the `cols_width()`, {docorator} will expand the remaining columns to fit the allotted width of the display area. ```{r eval = FALSE} mytbl |> gt::cols_width( msrp ~ pct(50) ) |> as_docorator(tbl_scale = FALSE) ``` Alternatively, if all columns are covered in the `cols_width()`, {docorator} will not apply *any* resizing to fit the allotted area. ```{r eval = FALSE} mytbl |> gt::cols_width( ctry_origin ~ pct(15), mfr ~ pct(10), model ~ pct(7), year ~ pct(9), msrp ~ pct(15) ) |> as_docorator(tbl_scale = FALSE) ``` ## Figure sizing Figure sizes can be adjusted via the `fig_dim` argument of `as_docorator()`. This argument expects a numeric vector of length 2, where the first and second elements are the height and width in inches, respectively. For example, the default `c(5,8)` translates to a height of 5 inches and width of 8 inches. ## Future developments More customization options will be offered in future releases.
