huxtable (version 4.2.1)

merge_cells: Merge a range of cells

Description

Merge a range of cells

Usage

merge_cells(ht, row, col)

Arguments

ht

A huxtable.

row

A row specifier. See rowspecs for details. Only the minimum and maximum rows and columns are used.

col

A column specifier.

Value

The ht object.

Details

merge_cells(ht, c(min_row, max_row), c(min_col, max_col)) is equivalent to

  colspan(ht)[min_row, min_col] <- max_col - min_col + 1
  rowspan(ht)[min_row, min_col] <- max_row - min_row + 1

There is no way to merge cells that do not form a rectangle, so e.g. merge_cells(ht, where(ht > 0)) will usually have unexpected results.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
ht <- hux(a = 1:3, b = 1:3)
ht <- set_all_borders(ht, 1)
merge_cells(ht, 1:2, 1:2)
# }
