Tabulate is a thin wrapper around the tabulate C++ library. It allows users to pretty print tables in the console, with support for different font styles, colors, borders and etc. It also supports multi-bytes characters and nesting tables.
tabulate can be installed from CRAN with:
install.packages("tabulate")
You can install the development version of tabulate from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
::install_github("mlverse/tabulate") remotes
The following example shows basic functionality of tabulate. Like formatting and coloring the output. Note that color and font styles are only suppported in platforms that support ANSI strings. For a colored version of this table see this link.
library(tabulate)
<- tabulate_table() %>%
department table_add_row(c("Research", "Engineering"))
<- tabulate_table() %>%
employees table_add_row(
c("Emp. ID", "First Name", "Last Name", "Department / Business Unit")) %>%
table_add_row(c("101", "Donald", "Patrick", "Finance")) %>%
table_add_row(
c("102", "Rachel", "Williams",
"Marketing and Operational\nLogistics Planning")) %>%
table_add_row(c("103", "Ian", "Jacob", department))
