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")
remotes::install_github("mlverse/tabulate")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)
department <- tabulate_table() %>%
table_add_row(c("Research", "Engineering"))
employees <- tabulate_table() %>%
table_add_row(
c("Emp. ID", "First Name", "Last Name", "Department / Business Unit")) %>%
table_add_row(c("101", "Donald", "Patrick", "Finance")) %>%
