26.13 Improvements Using BookTabs
REVIEW The booktabs
package for
LaTeX provides additional functionality that we can make use of
with knitr::kable(). To use this be sure to include the
following in the preamble (before the \begin{document}
of your
.Rnw file:
# Load the package from the local library into the R session.
\usepackage{booktabs}
We can then set booktabs=TRUE
to remove the clutter
of the extra lines.
# Use the booktabs option to improve presentation of the table.
%>% kable(row.names=FALSE, digits=0, booktabs=TRUE) ds
Location | MinTemp | MaxTemp | Rainfall | Evaporation |
---|---|---|---|---|
Tuggeranong | 10 | 25 | 0 | NA |
Wollongong | 21 | 31 | 1 | NA |
Dartmoor | 6 | 15 | 2 | 3 |
Sale | 17 | 29 | 0 | 6 |
WaggaWagga | 8 | 31 | 0 | 4 |
In the following example we notice that with more rows
booktabs=TRUE
will add a small gap every 5 rows.
# Display a tale with more observations.
