The cells_title()
function is used to target the table title or subtitle
when applying a footnote with tab_footnote()
or adding custom style with
tab_style()
. The function is expressly used in each of those functions'
locations
argument. The header location where the title and optionally the
subtitle reside is generated by the tab_header()
function.
Usage
cells_title(groups = c("title", "subtitle"))
Arguments
- groups
We can either specify
"title"
,"subtitle"
, or both (the default) in a vector to target the title element, the subtitle element, or both elements.
Overview of Location Helper Functions
Location helper functions can be used to target cells with virtually any
function that has a locations
argument. Here is a listing of all of the
location helper functions, with locations corresponding roughly from top to
bottom of a table:
cells_title()
: targets the table title or the table subtitle depending on the value given to thegroups
argument ("title"
or"subtitle"
).cells_stubhead()
: targets the stubhead location, a cell of which is only available when there is a stub; a label in that location can be created by using thetab_stubhead()
function.cells_column_spanners()
: targets the spanner column labels with thespanners
argument; spanner column labels appear above the column labels.cells_column_labels()
: targets the column labels with itscolumns
argument.cells_row_groups()
: targets the row group labels in any available row groups using thegroups
argument.cells_stub()
: targets row labels in the table stub using therows
argument.cells_body()
: targets data cells in the table body using intersections ofcolumns
androws
.cells_summary()
: targets summary cells in the table body using thegroups
argument and intersections ofcolumns
androws
.cells_grand_summary()
: targets cells of the table's grand summary using intersections ofcolumns
androws
cells_stub_summary()
: targets summary row labels in the table stub using thegroups
androws
arguments.cells_stub_grand_summary()
: targets grand summary row labels in the table stub using therows
argument.cells_footnotes()
: targets all footnotes in the table footer (cannot be used withtab_footnote()
).cells_source_notes()
: targets all source notes in the table footer (cannot be used withtab_footnote()
).
When using any of the location helper functions with an appropriate function
that has a locations
argument (e.g., tab_style()
), multiple locations
can be targeted by enclosing several cells_*()
helper functions in a
list()
(e.g., list(cells_body(), cells_grand_summary())
).
Examples
Use sp500
to create a gt table. Add a header with a title, and then
add a footnote to the title with tab_footnote()
and cells_title()
(in
locations
).
sp500 %>%
dplyr::filter(date >= "2015-01-05" & date <="2015-01-10") %>%
dplyr::select(-c(adj_close, volume, high, low)) %>%
gt() %>%
tab_header(title = "S&P 500") %>%
tab_footnote(
footnote = "All values in USD.",
locations = cells_title(groups = "title")
)
