I'm trying to put a relatively heavy line (say lwd = 2 size) around the body of a table using gridExtra
. Here's a MWE slightly modified from this documentation page. gtable
is doing the work under the hood but the documentation for gtable
is thin; looking at the code didn't help much.
g <- tableGrob(iris[1:4, 1:3], rows = NULL)
separators <- replicate(1,
segmentsGrob(x1 = unit(0,"npc")),
simplify=FALSE)
g <- gtable::gtable_add_grob(g, grobs = separators,
t = 1, b = nrow(g), l = 1)
g <- gtable::gtable_add_grob(g, grobs = separators,
t = 1, b = nrow(g), r = 3) # error: no default for l
grid.draw(g)
I'm trying to get an effect like this (different data):
The 2nd call to gtable::gtable_add_grob
gives an error, so obviously my simple notion that r = 3
will put the line on the right of the 3rd column is naive. Any suggestions as to how to get a heavier line around the body of the table? If I can grok the idea for the left and right edges I assume the top and bottom lines can be drawn analogously.
Side note: gridExtra
was recently revised to use gtable
. Previously I had made graphics like the one above with commands similar to those below; I'd like to get pretty close to the same settings if possible (the new method has rows alternating in grey level, that's nicer; I'm really after the old show.box
feature).
myt <- gridExtra::tableGrob(aov1, show.box = TRUE,
show.rownames = TRUE, show.colnames = TRUE,
show.csep = TRUE, show.rsep = TRUE,
separator = "black", gp = grid::gpar(cex = table[3]))
