The sprinkle methods work with dust_list
objects very naturally, but medleys pose a slightly more difficult problem.
Medleys are intended to be predefined collections of sprinkles that reduce
the time required to format a table with a particular look and style.
It seems counter-productive to expect a user to define each of her or his
medleys as a method that can work with both dust and dust_list
objects. pixieply is a wrapper to lapply that preserves the
dust_list class of the object.
pixiemap provides functionality to apply differing sprinkles over
each element of a dust_list. The most common example is probably
adding a unique caption to each table.
pixieply(X, FUN, ...)pixiemap(X, FUN, ..., MoreArgs = NULL, SIMPLIFY = FALSE, USE.NAMES = TRUE)
An object of class dust_list.
A function to apply to each element of X
Additional arguments to pass to FUN
a list of other arguments to FUN
logical or character string; attempt to reduce the result
to a vector, matrix or higher dimensional array; see the simplify
argument of sapply
logical; use names if the first ... argument has names, or if it is a character vector, use that character vector as the names.
