Set the bottom border of a table part

hline_bottom() draws a horizontal line at the very bottom of a table part. It does not accept a row selector i because it always targets the last row.

Unlike hline(), which adds inner lines below arbitrary rows, hline_bottom() is meant for the outer bottom edge of a part.

Usage

hline_bottom(x, j = NULL, border = NULL, part = "body")

Arguments

x

a 'flextable' object, see flextable-package to learn how to create 'flextable' object.

j

column selector, see section Column selection with the j parameter in <Selectors in flextable>.

border

border properties defined by a call to officer::fp_border()

part

part selector, see section Part selection with the part parameter in <Selectors in flextable>. Value 'all' can be used.

Examples

library(officer)
big_border <- fp_border(color = "orange", width = 3)

ft <- flextable(head(iris))
ft <- border_remove(x = ft)

# add a thick line at the bottom of the body
ft <- hline_bottom(ft, part = "body", border = big_border)
