Broadcast-graphics theme for gt tables — gt_theme

A solid color band carrying condensed uppercase labels, over tight rows, after a television lower-third or a stadium scoreboard.

Usage

gt_theme_scoreboard(
  gt_object,
  accent = "#0E1621",
  density = c("compact", "comfortable", "social"),
  ...
)

Arguments

gt_object: A gt table object to modify.
accent: Character. A hex color for the header band. The label color adapts to it. Defaults to "#0E1621".
density: Character. The type and padding scale. One of "comfortable", "compact", or "social". See Density. Defaults to "compact".
...: 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 sets the band itself, so one argument restyles the whole table to a brand color. The label color is checked against the band and flipped to dark if the accent is pale.

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.
