flextable (version 0.5.6)

fix_border_issues: fix border issues when cell are merged

Description

When cells are merged, the rendered borders will be those of the first cell. If a column is made of three merged cells, the bottom border that will be seen will be the bottom border of the first cell in the column. From a user point of view, this is wrong, the bottom should be the one defined for cell 3. This function modify the border values to avoid that effect.

Usage

fix_border_issues(x, part = "all")

Arguments

x

flextable object

part

partname of the table (one of 'all', 'body', 'header', 'footer')

Examples

# NOT RUN {
if( require(magrittr) ){
  library(officer)
  ft <- data.frame(a = 1:5, b = 6:10) %>%
    flextable() %>%
    theme_box() %>%
    merge_at(i = 4:5, j = 1, part = "body") %>%
    hline(i = 5, part = "body",
          border = fp_border(color = "red", width = 5) )
  print(ft)
  fix_border_issues(ft) %>% print()
}
