Sometimes you may want to see just a small portion of your input data. We can
use gt_preview()
in place of gt()
to get the first x rows of data and the
last y rows of data (which can be set by the top_n
and bottom_n
arguments). It's not advised to use additional gt functions to further
modify the output of gt_preview()
. Furthermore, you cannot pass a gt
object to gt_preview()
.
gt_preview(data, top_n = 5, bottom_n = 1, incl_rownums = TRUE)
An object of class gt_tbl
.
A data.frame
object or a tibble.
This value will be used as the number of rows from the top of
the table to display. The default, 5
, will show the first five rows of
the table.
The value will be used as the number of rows from the bottom
of the table to display. The default, 1
, will show the final row of the
table.
An option to include the row numbers for data
in the
table stub. By default, this is TRUE
.
Use gtcars
to create a gt table preview (with only a few of its
columns). You'll see the first five rows and the last row.
gtcars %>%
dplyr::select(mfr, model, year) %>%
gt_preview()
1-2
Any grouped data or magic columns such as rowname
and groupname
will be
ignored by gt_preview()
and, as such, one cannot add a stub or group rows
in the output table. By default, the output table will include row numbers in
a stub (including a range of row numbers for the omitted rows). This row
numbering option can be deactivated by setting incl_rownums
to FALSE
.
