vline_left() draws a vertical line along the left edge
of the table by setting the left border of the first column.
It does not accept a column selector j because it always
targets column 1.
An optional row selector i lets you restrict the line to
specific rows (e.g. only the body, or only certain rows).
Unlike vline(), which adds inner lines to the right of
arbitrary columns, vline_left() is meant for the outer
left edge of the table.
Arguments
- x
a 'flextable' object, see flextable-package to learn how to create 'flextable' object.
- i
row selector, see section Row selection with the
iparameter in <Selectors in flextable>.- border
border properties defined by a call to
officer::fp_border()- part
part selector, see section Part selection with the
partparameter in <Selectors in flextable>. Value 'all' can be used.
