Editorial serif theme for gt tables — gt_theme

Sets a serif body under small letterspaced sans column labels, with hairline rules and no fills anywhere. Row groups are an uppercase label over a rule rather than a colored band.

Usage

gt_theme_broadsheet(
  gt_object,
  accent = "#A6081A",
  density = c("comfortable", "compact", "social"),
  paper = "white",
  ...
)

Arguments

gt_object: A gt table object to modify.
accent: Character. A hex color for the rule above the table and for the row-group labels. Defaults to "#A6081A".
density: Character. The type and padding scale. One of "comfortable", "compact", or "social". See Density. Defaults to "comfortable".
paper: Character. The table background. Either "white" for a warm off-white, "salmon" for the financial-press pink, or any hex color, in which case the hairline color is left neutral. Defaults to "white".
...: Additional arguments passed to gt::tab_options, applied last so they override anything the theme sets.

Value

Returns a modified gt table with the theme applied.

Details

accent recolors the rule above the table and the row-group labels.

Density

density sets the type and padding scale together. "comfortable" uses a 14px body with roomy rows, "compact" a 12px body with tight rows, and "social" a 17px body with generous rows and a larger title, at the scale gt_save_crop() and gt_social_crop() export at.
