Constructor for column data

The new_pillar_shaft() constructor creates objects of the "pillar_shaft" class. This is a virtual or abstract class, you must specify the subclass argument. By convention, this should be a string that starts with "pillar_shaft_". See vignette("extending", package = "tibble") for usage examples.

new_pillar_shaft_simple() provides an implementation of the pillar_shaft class suitable for output that has a fixed formatting, which will be truncated with a continuation character (ellipsis or ~) if it doesn't fit the available width. By default, the required width is computed from the natural width of the formatted argument.

new_pillar_shaft(x, ..., width, min_width = width, subclass)

new_pillar_shaft_simple(formatted, ..., width = NULL, align = "left",
  min_width = NULL, na_indent = 0L)

Arguments

x	An object
...	Additional attributes
width	The maximum column width.
min_width	The minimum allowed column width, width if omitted.
subclass	The name of the subclass.
formatted	An object coercible to character.
align	Alignment of the column.
na_indent	Indention of NA values.

Details

The formatted argument may also contain ANSI escapes to change color or other attributes of the text, see crayon.
