Prints the compact metadata block for an rtftable() – dimensions, leaf
labels, row-title columns, border and column-width mode, and any attached
title / footnote counts – without the visual table body.
Usage
# S3 method for class 'rtftable'
summary(object, ...)See also
print.rtftable() for the same block plus the table body,
format.rtftable() to capture the rendered lines as a character vector.
Examples
dm <- data.frame(
Characteristic = c("Age (years)", " Mean (SD)", "Sex", " Female, n (%)"),
`Drug A` = c("", "54.2 (11.3)", "", "31 (51.7%)"),
`Drug B` = c("", "56.8 (10.1)", "", "27 (46.6%)"),
check.names = FALSE, stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
tbl <- rtftable(dm, border = "tfl", col_rel_width = c(2, 1, 1))
# The metadata block on its own -- dimensions, header rows, widths, borders
summary(tbl)
#> <rtftable> 4 rows x 3 columns
#> Row title: col 1
#> Borders: set
#> Widths: relative 2:1:1
