setColumnWidth-methods

From XLConnect v1.0.1 by Martin Studer

Setting the width of a column in a worksheet

Sets the width of a column in a worksheet.

Keywords: methods, utilities

Usage

# S4 method for workbook,character
setColumnWidth(object,sheet,column,width)
# S4 method for workbook,numeric
setColumnWidth(object,sheet,column,width)

Arguments

object: The '>workbook to use
sheet: The name or index of the sheet
column: The index of the column to resize
width: The width of the specified column in units of 1/256th of a character width. If width = -1 (default), the column is auto-sized. If negative otherwise, the column will be sized to the sheet's default column width.

Details

Note that the arguments sheet, column and width are vectorized. As such the column width of multiple columns (potentially on different sheets) can be set with one method call.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# mtcars xlsx file from demoFiles subfolder of package XLConnect
mtcarsFile <- system.file("demoFiles/mtcars.xlsx", package = "XLConnect")

# Load workbook
wb <- loadWorkbook(mtcarsFile)

# Sets the column width of the 3rd column on sheet 'mtcars' 
# to 4000/256th (= 15.625) character width
setColumnWidth(wb, sheet = "mtcars", column = 3, width = 4000)
# }
