Create border formatting with flextable defaults

Create a officer::fp_border() object whose unspecified arguments inherit from set_flextable_defaults() (border color, width).

Use fp_border_default() instead of officer::fp_border() so that borders automatically match the table's default style.

Usage

fp_border_default(
  color = flextable_global$defaults$border.color,
  style = "solid",
  width = flextable_global$defaults$border.width
)

Arguments

color

border color - single character value (e.g. "#000000" or "black")

style

border style - single character value : See Details for supported border styles.

width

border width - an integer value : 0>= value

See also

hline(), vline()

Other functions for defining formatting properties: fp_text_default()

Examples

library(flextable)

set_flextable_defaults(
  border.color = "orange"
)

z <- flextable(head(cars))
z <- theme_vanilla(z)
z <- vline(
  z,
  j = 1, part = "all",
  border = officer::fp_border()
)
z <- vline(
  z,
  j = 2, part = "all",
  border = fp_border_default()
)
