sjt.df: Show (description of) data frame as HTML table

Description

Shows description or the content of data frame (rows and columns) as HTML table, or saves it as file. Helpful if you want a quick overview of a data frame's content. See parameter describe for details. By default, describe is TRUE and a description of the data frame is given, using the describe function of the psych package.

Usage

sjt.df(df, describe = TRUE, file = NULL, alternateRowColors = FALSE,
  orderColumn = NULL, orderAscending = TRUE, title = NULL,
  repeatHeader = FALSE, stringVariable = "Variable", showType = FALSE,
  showRowNames = TRUE, showCommentRow = FALSE,
  commentString = "No comment...", hideProgressBar = FALSE,
  encoding = NULL, CSS = NULL, useViewer = TRUE, no.output = FALSE,
  remove.spaces = TRUE)

Value

Invisibly returns a structure with

• the data frame with the description information (data),
• the web page style sheet (page.style),
• the web page content (page.content),
• the complete html-output (output.complete) and
• the html-table with inline-css for use with knitr (knitr)

for further use.
