How to change header content?

[eusebe]

Hi,

I would like to replace the default header names of a FlexTable object (after its creation).

I tried

ft <- FlexTable(head(esoph))
ft[1, , to = "header"] <- c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E")

But the result is not exactly what I expected;

agegpA	alcgpB	tobgpC	ncasesD	ncontrolsE
25-34	0-39g/day	0-9g/day	0	40
25-34	0-39g/day	10-19	0	10

Is it possible to obtain the following?

A	B	C	D	E
25-34	0-39g/day	0-9g/day	0	40
25-34	0-39g/day	10-19	0	10

Best, David

Hi David

Yes, set no row header with header.columns = FALSE then use addHeaderRow :

MyFTable <- FlexTable( data = iris[46:55, ], header.columns = FALSE )
MyFTable <- addHeaderRow( MyFTable, value = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E") )

So, it means that it is impossible to remove header after the creation of the FlexTable object?
