Knitr Kable - possible to adjust width or turn column names? #67

Open jasmincantzler opened 9 years ago

jasmincantzler commented 9 years ago

Dear all I generated a table but the table is too wide - is there a way to adjust the width or alternatively to turn the column names 90 degree so they take less space?

Cheers, thanks in advance, Jasmin

Kable is rather limited in this regard. If you have time perhaps try xtable (not sure off the top of my head if this is possible). A more complicated solution would be to edit the latex source code which I can show you how to do when I get back.

Also, consider ways to simplify the table, usually that makes it more readable regardless.
