International Typographic Style theme for gt tables

Builds the table on whitespace. There are no fills, no banding, and exactly two rules in the whole table, one under the column labels and one closing the body. Everything else is done with space and alignment.

Usage

gt_theme_swiss(
  gt_object,
  accent = "#111111",
  density = c("comfortable", "social", "compact"),
  ...
)

Arguments

gt_object

A gt table object to modify.

accent

Character. A hex color, used once, on the rule beneath the column labels. Defaults to "#111111", which reads as no color at all.

density

Character. The type and padding scale. One of "comfortable", "compact", or "social". See Density. Defaults to "comfortable".

...

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

Alignment is strict. Text sits flush left, numbers flush right, and nothing is centered.

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.
