indentationrtables
I'm trying to create a table in r markdown where the age groups such as 0-20 and 21-55 are indented:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{lccc}
\toprule
Factors & 2 & 2 & P-Value\\
\midrule
Age\\
0-20 & 2 & 2 & 2\\
21-55 & 2 & 2 & 2\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
I've tried using spaces, \indent, \hspace, \rowgroup (didn't compile in r markdown). Any help is greatly appreciated.
You could prepend the tabular with an \hspace*{<len>} where <len> is any known (La)TeX length unit. For example, below I've spaced the tabular by 2em:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello. I love \LaTeX! I have a question:
\begin{itemize}
\item
How can I indent the table below?
\hspace*{2em}\begin{tabular}{|rcccl|}
\hline
this & table & should & be & indented \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
Using the starred version of \hspace*{<len>} here is not compulsory - \hspace{<len>} would also work.
Note how it is necessary to "unskip" the distance inserted after \hline via \\. I've just removed it from my MWE. Of course, other lengths also exist that you could use (\labelsep comes to mind, which is the length between the bullet and the start of the item text).
knitr has a few pretty straightforward ways of handling this.
knit_child() with inline R codeSay your setup is like the following. In the same directory, you have:
graph.R## ---- graph
library(ggplot2)
CarPlot <- ggplot() +
stat_summary(data= mtcars,
aes(x = factor(gear),
y = mpg
),
fun.y = "mean",
geom = "bar"
)
CarPlot
chapter1.RnwHey, look, a graph (Figure~\ref{fig:graph})!
<<graph, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.lp='fig:', out.width='.5\\linewidth', fig.align='center', fig.cap="A graph", fig.pos='h!'>>=
@
main.Rnw\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
<<external-code, echo=FALSE, cache=FALSE>>=
read_chunk('./graph.R')
@
\Sexpr{knit_child('chapter1.Rnw')}
\end{document}
Then, you can knit the main.Rnw file and compile the resulting .tex file with either pdflatex or xelatex.
The output is:
Note that you can also read the external .R file from the child .Rnw file.
So, the following would have worked just as well.
chapter1-mod.Rnw<<external-code, echo=FALSE, cache=FALSE>>=
read_chunk('./graph.R')

Hey, look, a graph (Figure~\ref{fig:graph})!
<<graph, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.lp='fig:', out.width='.5\\linewidth', fig.align='center', fig.cap="A graph", fig.pos='h!'>>=
@
main-mod.Rnw\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\Sexpr{knit_child('chapter1-mod.Rnw')}
\end{document}
childAssuming you have graph.R and chapter1.Rnw from above in the same directory, then your main.Rnw should be:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
<<external-code, echo=FALSE, cache=FALSE>>=
read_chunk('./graph.R')
@
<<child-demo, child='chapter1.Rnw'>>=
@
\end{document}
Note that you can also read the external .R file from within the child document in this case, too.
So, assuming you had graph.R and chapter1-mod.Rnw from above in the same directory, then your main-mod.Rnw file should be:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
<<child-demo, child='chapter1-mod.Rnw'>>=
@
\end{document}

You could insert an
\hspace{<some length>}directive at the start of cells. In the example below, I've set the length to3mm; you're obviously free to choose a different length.
