opt_table_outline: Option to wrap an outline around the entire table

Description

This function puts an outline of consistent style, width, and color around the entire table. It'll write over any existing outside lines so long as the width is larger that of the existing lines. The default value of style ("solid") will draw a solid outline, whereas a value of "none" will remove any present outline.

Usage

opt_table_outline(data, style = "solid", width = px(3), color = "#D3D3D3")

Value

An object of class gt_tbl.

Arguments

data: A table object that is created using the gt() function.
style, width, color: The style, width, and color properties for the table outline. By default, these are "solid", px(3) (or, "3px"), and "#D3D3D3". If "none" is used then the outline is removed and any values provided for width and color will be ignored (i.e., not set).

Examples

Use exibble to create a gt table with a number of table parts added. Have an outline wrap around the entire table by using opt_table_outline().

tab_1 <-
  exibble %>%
  gt(rowname_col = "row", groupname_col = "group") %>%
  summary_rows(
    groups = "grp_a",
    columns = c(num, currency),
    fns = list(
      min = ~min(., na.rm = TRUE),
      max = ~max(., na.rm = TRUE)
    )) %>%
  grand_summary_rows(
    columns = currency,
    fns = list(
      total = ~sum(., na.rm = TRUE)
    )) %>%
  tab_source_note(source_note = "This is a source note.") %>%
  tab_footnote(
    footnote = "This is a footnote.",
    locations = cells_body(columns = 1, rows = 1)
  ) %>%
  tab_header(
    title = "The title of the table",
    subtitle = "The table's subtitle"
  ) %>%
  opt_table_outline()
tab_1
