28.12 Formatting Options
REVIEW Formatting options are available for
fine tuning how the table is to be presented. For example we can
remove the row names (the row numbers in the above table) easily with
row.names=FALSE.
# Display a table without row names.
ds %>% kable(row.names=FALSE)| Location | MinTemp | MaxTemp | Rainfall | Evaporation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Williamtown | 11.5 | 16.8 | 20.2 | 0.8 |
| SydneyAirport | 13.6 | 17.9 | 8.2 | 2.0 |
| MelbourneAirport | 21.0 | 34.1 | 0.0 | 14.2 |
| Canberra | 15.9 | 26.0 | 6.8 | NA |
| Richmond | 1.8 | 20.0 | 0.0 | NA |
We can also limit the number of digits displayed to avoid an impression of a high level of accuracy or to simplify presentation using digits=. By doing so the numeric values are rounded to the requested number of decimal points.
# Display a table removing digits from numbers.
ds %>% kable(row.names=FALSE, digits=0)| Location | MinTemp | MaxTemp | Rainfall | Evaporation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Williamtown | 12 | 17 | 20 | 1 |
| SydneyAirport | 14 | 18 | 8 | 2 |
| MelbourneAirport | 21 | 34 | 0 | 14 |
| Canberra | 16 | 26 | 7 | NA |
| Richmond | 2 | 20 | 0 | NA |
