tbl_format_setup() is called by format.tbl().
This method collects information that is common to the header, body,
and footer parts of a tibble.
Examples:
the dimensions sometimes are reported both in the header and (implicitly) in the footer of a tibble;
the columns shown in the body decide which columns are shown in the footer.
This information is computed once in tbl_format_setup().
The result is passed on to the
tbl_format_header(), tbl_format_body(), and tbl_format_footer()
methods.
If you need to customize parts of the printed output independently,
override these methods instead.
tbl_format_setup(x, width = NULL, ..., n = NULL, max_extra_cols = NULL) # S3 method for tbl tbl_format_setup(x, width, ..., n, max_extra_cols)
| x | An object. |
|---|---|
| width | Actual width for printing, a numeric greater than zero. This argument is mandatory for all implementations of this method. |
| ... | Extra arguments to |
| n | Actual number of rows to print. No options should be considered by implementations of this method. |
| max_extra_cols | Number of columns to print abbreviated information for, if the width is too small for the entire tibble. No options should be considered by implementations of this method. |
An object that can be passed as setup argument to
tbl_format_header(), tbl_format_body(), and tbl_format_footer().
Extend this method to prepare information that is used
in several parts of the printed output of a tibble-like object,
or to collect additional arguments passed via ... to
print.tbl() or format.tbl().
We expect that tbl_format_setup() is extended only rarely,
and overridden only in exceptional circumstances, if at all.
If you override this method, you must also implement
tbl_format_header(), tbl_format_body(), and tbl_format_footer()
for your class.
Implementing a method
allows to override printing and formatting of the entire object
without overriding the print() and format() methods directly.
This allows to keep the logic of the width and n arguments.
The default method for the "tbl" class collects information for
standard printing for tibbles.
See new_tbl_format_setup() for details on the returned object.
