How to Use GT 0.10 For Better Data Tables in R Programming

New updates make the table library for R programming more convenient for data scientists and business analysts

Tables have been available in R for a while, but these first tables were not very visual in their presentation. Developers have introduced more Word-friendly visuals to programming languages in general. Among the best R libraries for tables is the gt library. The gt library is super helpful in applying document-friend visual formats to your datasets and making them shareable.

The latest library has undergone some changes, but most of the familiar functions and features are there if you have not updated to the latest versions.

The basics of the GT library

The gt library is an API designed to format data tables so that they can be added easily to other documents.

The gt library is designed to make tables in R more accessible, modifiable, and reproducible. It does this with a modular approach similar to the functions and arguments in the ggplot2 library. The result is a capacity for nice-looking table formats that have more of a report-ready appearance.
