tabulate can be installed from CRAN with:
install.packages("tabulate")You can install the development version of tabulate from GitHub with:
The following example shows basic functionality of tabulate. Like formatting and coloring the output. Note that color and font styles are only suppported in platforms that support ANSI strings. For a colored version of this table see this link.
library(tabulate)
department <- tabulate_table() %>%
table_add_row(c("Research", "Engineering"))
employees <- tabulate_table() %>%
table_add_row(
c("Emp. ID", "First Name", "Last Name", "Department / Business Unit")) %>%
table_add_row(c("101", "Donald", "Patrick", "Finance")) %>%
table_add_row(
c("102", "Rachel", "Williams",
"Marketing and Operational\nLogistics Planning")) %>%
table_add_row(c("103", "Ian", "Jacob", department))
