Dear List members,
I have uploaded an improved version on Github. The function is now fully
functional:
- justify: left, right, cent...: TODO centre vs center;
- sep: separator when printing;
- pos: Top, Bottom; TODO: Middle;
see:
https://github.com/discoleo/R/blob/master/Stat/Tools.Data.
I will address some open questions in a separate post.
### Test
# Required:
# - all functions from Github / section "Formatting":
# from space.builder() to ftable2();
### Data
mtcars$carbCtg = cut(mtcars$carb, c(1, 2, 4, 8), right=FALSE)
tbl = with(mtcars, table(cyl, hp, carbCtg, gear))
id = c(1,3,4);
xnm = c("Long\nname: ", "", "Extremely\nlong\nname: ")
xnm = paste0(xnm, names(dimnames(tbl))[id]);
names(dimnames(tbl))[id] = xnm;
ftbl = ftable(tbl, row.vars = id);
### FTABLE
ftable2(ftbl, sep="|"); # works nicely
ftable2(ftbl, sep=" ")
ftable2(ftbl, sep=" | ")
ftable2(ftbl, sep=" | ", justify="left")
ftable2(ftbl, sep=" | ", justify="cent") # TODO: center vs centre
ftable2(ftbl, sep=" | ", justify="left", justify.lvl="c")
Sincerely,
Leonard

Dear List members,
I have uploaded an improved version on Github:
- new option: align top vs bottom;
Functions:
split.names: splits and aligns the names;
merge.align: aligns 2 string matrices;
ftable2: enhanced version of format.ftable (proof of concept);
see:
https://github.com/discoleo/R/blob/master/Stat/Tools.Data.R
It makes sense to have such functionality in base R as well: it may be
useful in various locations to format character output.
Sincerely,
Leonard

Dear List members,
I wrote some code to split long names in format.ftable. I hope it
will be useful to others as well.
Ideally, this code should be implemented natively in R. I will
provide in the 2nd part of the mail a concept how to actually
implement the code in R. This may be interesting to R-devel as well.
[...]
C.) split.names Function
This function may be useful in other locations as well, particularly
to split names/labels used in axes and legends in various plots. But
I do not have much knowledge of the graphics engine in R.
Sincerely,
Leonard
