Creating a freeze pane on a worksheet

Creates a freeze pane on a specified worksheet.

Usage

# S4 method for workbook,character
createFreezePane(object, sheet, colSplit, rowSplit, leftColumn, topRow)
# S4 method for workbook,numeric
createFreezePane(object, sheet, colSplit, rowSplit, leftColumn, topRow)

Note

To keep an area of a worksheet visible while you scroll to another area of the worksheet, you can lock specific rows or columns in one area by freezing or splitting panes.

When you freeze panes, you keep specific rows or columns visible when you scroll in the worksheet. For example, you might want to keep row and column labels visible as you scroll.

When you split panes, you create separate worksheet areas that you can scroll within, while rows or columns in the non-scrolled area remain visible.
