Insert a row or column

These convenience functions wrap cbind or rbind for huxtables, to insert a single row or column.

insert_column(
  ht,
  ...,
  after = 0,
  fill = NULL,
  rowspan = 1,
  copy_cell_props = TRUE
)

insert_row(
  ht,
  ...,
  after = 0,
  fill = NULL,
  colspan = 1,
  copy_cell_props = TRUE
)

Arguments

ht

A huxtable.

...

Cell contents.

after

Insert the row/column after this position. 0 (the default) inserts as the first row/column.

fill

String. If ... contains fewer elements than there are columns/rows to fill, the remaining cells will be filled with this.

rowspan, colspan

Scalar integer. Sets the rowspan or colspan of the first cell only. The default NULL throws an error if there are too few elements.

copy_cell_props

Copy cell properties from the previous row or column (if after > 0). See cbind.huxtable().

Value

The modified huxtable

Details

In insert_column only, you can use a column name for after.

Even if colspan or rowspan are greater than 1, you must still provide values for the hidden cells. Use fill = "" for this.

See also

add_rows() and add_columns(), which insert multiple rows/columns at once.

Examples

insert_row(jams,
        c("Gooseberry", 2.15),
        after = 1
      )
#>                               Type           Price  
#>                               Gooseberry      2.15  
#>                               Strawberry      1.90  
#>                               Raspberry       2.10  
#>                               Plum            1.80  
#> 
#> Column names: Type, Price

insert_column(jams,
        c("Sugar", "50%", "60%", "40%"),
        after = "Price"
      )
#>                           Type         Price    Sugar  
#>                           Strawberry    1.90   50.00%  
#>                           Raspberry     2.10   60.00%  
#>                           Plum          1.80   40.00%  
#> 
#> Column names: Type, Price,

insert_column(jams,
        "Sugar",
        after = "Price",
        fill = "50%"
      )
#>                           Type         Price    Sugar  
#>                           Strawberry    1.90   50.00%  
#>                           Raspberry     2.10   50.00%  
#>                           Plum          1.80   50.00%  
#> 
#> Column names: Type, Price,

# don't forget to use `fill`:
insert_row(jams,
        "Jams and prices",
        fill = "",
        colspan = 2
      )
#>                               Jams and prices       
#>                               Type           Price  
#>                               Strawberry      1.90  
#>                               Raspberry       2.10  
#>                               Plum            1.80
