Define Column Widths — listing_column

def_colwidths uses heuristics to determine suitable column widths given a table or listing, and a font.

Usage

listing_column_widths(
  mpf,
  incl_header = TRUE,
  col_gap = 0.5,
  pg_width_ins = 8.88,
  fontspec = font_spec("Times", 8, 1.2),
  verbose = FALSE
)

def_colwidths(
  tt,
  fontspec,
  label_width_ins = 2,
  col_gap = ifelse(type == "Listing", 0.5, 3),
  type = tlg_type(tt)
)

Arguments

mpf: (listing_df or MatrixPrintForm derived thereof)
The listing calculate column widths for.
incl_header: (logical(1))
Should the constraint to not break up individual words be extended to words in the column labels? Defaults to TRUE
col_gap: Column gap in spaces. Defaults to .5 for listings and 3 for tables.
pg_width_ins: (numeric(1))
Number of inches in width for the portion of the page the listing will be printed to. Defaults to 8.88 which corresponds to landscape orientation on a standard page after margins.
fontspec: Font specification
verbose: (logical(1))
Should additional information messages be displayed during the calculation of the column widths? Defaults to FALSE.
tt: input Tabletree
label_width_ins: Label Width in Inches.
type: Type of the table tree, used to determine column width calculation method.

Value

A vector of column widths suitable to use in tt_to_tlgrtf and other exporters.

a vector of column widths (including the label row pseudo-column in the table case) suitable for use rendering tt in the specified font.

Details

Listings are assumed to be rendered landscape on standard A1 paper, such that all columns are rendered on one page. Tables are allowed to be horizontally paginated, and column widths are determined based only on required word wrapping. See the Automatic Column Widths vignette for a detailed discussion of the algorithms used.
