Location helper for targeting cells in the table stub

The cells_stub() function is used to target the table's stub cells and it is useful when applying a footnote with tab_footnote() or adding a custom style with tab_style(). The function is expressly used in each of those functions' locations argument.

cells_stub(rows = TRUE)

Arguments

rows	The names of the rows that are to be targeted.

Value

A list object with the classes cells_stub and location_cells.

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 the groups argument ("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 the tab_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 the groups argument.

• cells_stub(): targets row labels in the table stub using the rows argument.

• cells_body(): targets data cells in the table body using intersections of columns and rows.

• cells_summary(): targets summary cells in the table body using the groups argument and intersections of columns and rows.

• cells_grand_summary(): targets cells of the table's grand summary using intersections of columns and rows

Examples

library(tidyr)

# Use `sza` to create a gt table; color
# all of the `month` values in the table
# stub with `tab_style()`, using `cells_stub()`
# in `locations` (`rows = TRUE` targets
# all stub rows)
tab_1 <-
  sza %>%
  dplyr::filter(latitude == 20 & tst <= "1000") %>%
  dplyr::select(-latitude) %>%
  dplyr::filter(!is.na(sza)) %>%
  tidyr::spread(key = "tst", value = sza) %>%
  gt(rowname_col = "month") %>%

  ) %>%
  tab_style(
    style = list(
      cell_fill(color = "darkblue"),
      cell_text(color = "white")
      ),
    locations = cells_stub(rows = TRUE)
