R: Column widths

col_width {huxtable} | R Documentation

## Column widths

### Description

Functions to get or set the column widths property of huxtable cols.

### Usage

    col_width(ht)
    col_width(ht) <- value
    set_col_width(ht, col, value)

### Arguments

`ht` | A huxtable.
`value` | A vector. If numeric, they are treated as proportions of the table width. If character, they must be valid CSS or LaTeX lengths.
`col` | A col specifier. See `rowspecs` for details.

### Details

In LaTeX, if you specify a column width, but set 'wrap' to 'FALSE' and have cells which overrun, then you may have problems with table position and with background colours in other cells. The workaround is to adjust the width, so that your cells no longer overrun.

### Value

For `col_width`, the `col_width` attribute. For `set_col_width`, the `ht` object.

### See Also

Other row/column heights: `row_height`

### Examples

    ht <- huxtable(a = 1:3, b = 1:3)
    col_width(ht) <-  c(.2, .8)
    col_width(ht)
    print_screen(ht)
