odfTable: Create an Open Document Format table

Description

Create an Open Document Format table from a data frame, matrix or vector

Usage

odfTable(x, ...)
odfTable.numeric(x, horizontal = length(x) < 5, colnames = names(x), 
   digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 3), 
   name = paste("Table", floor(runif(1) * 1000), sep = ""), 
   styles = NULL, ...)
   
odfTable.character(x, horizontal = length(x) < 5, colnames = names(x), 
   name = paste("Table", floor(runif(1) * 1000), sep = ""), 
   styles = NULL, ...)
   
odfTable.character(x, horizontal = length(x) < 5, colnames = names(x), 
   name = paste("Table", floor(runif(1) * 1000), sep = ""), 
   styles = NULL, ...)
   
odfTable.data.frame(x, colnames = NULL, useRowNames = TRUE, 
   digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 3), 
   name = paste("Table", floor(runif(1) * 1000), sep = ""), 
   styles = NULL, ...)
   
odfTable.matrix(x, colnames = NULL, useRowNames = TRUE, 
   digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 3),
    name = paste("Table", floor(runif(1) * 1000), sep = ""), 
    styles = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

a vector, matrix or data frame

horizontal

a logical: should the vector be shown as a 1xn table or nx1? This is ignored for other data structures.

colnames

a vector of column names that can be used. Note that if the row names are used in the table, this should contain an extra element for that column.

useRowNames

a logical: should the row names be printed in the final table

digits

number of significant digits passed to format

name

A name for the table. ODF requires a name for each object, so a random name will be used if unspecified.

styles

An optional list of style names for each table element (cells, headers etc). See tableStyles

...

optional arguments that can be passed to format

Value

• a list of character string that contain XML markup

Details

There are two main components to specifying output formats: style definitions and style assignments. The definition has the specific components (such as a table cell) and their format values (e.g. boxed with solid black lines). The function getStyleDefs can fetch the pre-existing styles in the package. These can be modified and new definitions can be added. The function setStyleDefs ``registers'' the style changes with the package. When odfWeave is called, these definitions are written to the style sections of the XML files. There is a second mechanism to assign styles to specific output elements. The functionsgetStyles and setStyles can be used to tell odfWeave which style definition to use for a particular output

The data structures are converted to character matrices using format.
