compute and apply optimized widths and heights
(minimum estimated widths and heights for each table columns and rows
in inches returned by function dim_pretty()).
This function is to be used when the table widths and heights should automatically be adjusted to fit the size of the content.
autofit(x, add_w = 0.1, add_h = 0.1, part = c("body", "header"), unit = "in")
Arguments
| x | flextable object |
|---|---|
| add_w | extra width to add in inches |
| add_h | extra height to add in inches |
| part | partname of the table (one of 'all', 'body', 'header' or 'footer') |
| unit | unit for add_h and add_w, one of "in", "cm", "mm". |
Note
This function is not related to 'Microsoft Word' Autofit feature.
line breaks
Soft returns (a line break in a paragraph) are not supported. Function
autofit will return wrong results if \n are used (they will be
considered as "").
