cells_column_labels
Location helper for targeting the column labels
Description
The cells_column_labels() function is used to target the table's column
labels 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.
Usage
cells_column_labels(columns)
Arguments
columns |
The names of the column labels that are to be targeted. |
Details
When using any of the location helper functions with an appropriate function
that has a locations argument, multiple locations can be targeted by
enclosing several cells_*() helper functions in a list(). The following
helper functions can be used to target cells (roughly in order from the top
to the bottom of a table):
-
cells_title(): targets the table title or the table subtitle depending on the value given to thegroupsargument ("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, which appear above the column labels. -
cells_column_labels(): targets the column labels. -
cells_row_groups(): targets the row group labels in any available row groups using thegroupsargument. -
cells_stub(): targets row labels in the table stub using therowsargument. -
cells_body(): targets data cells in the table body using intersections ofcolumnsandrows. -
cells_summary(): targets summary cells in the table body using thegroupsargument and intersections ofcolumnsandrows. -
cells_grand_summary(): targets cells of the table's grand summary using intersections ofcolumnsandrows
Value
A list object with the classes cells_column_labels and
location_cells.
