setColWidths {openxlsx} | R Documentation |
Set worksheet column widths to specific width or "auto".
setColWidths(wb, sheet, cols, widths = 8.43, hidden = rep(FALSE, length(cols)), ignoreMergedCells = FALSE)
wb |
A workbook object |
sheet |
A name or index of a worksheet |
cols |
Indices of cols to set width |
widths |
widths to set cols to specified in Excel column width units or "auto" for automatic sizing. The widths argument is recycled to the length of cols. |
hidden |
Logical vector. If TRUE the column is hidden. |
ignoreMergedCells |
Ignore any cells that have been merged with other cells in the calculation of "auto" column widths. |
The global min and max column width for "auto" columns is set by (default values show):
options("openxlsx.minWidth" = 3)
options("openxlsx.maxWidth" = 250) ## This is the maximum width allowed in Excel
NOTE: The calculation of column widths can be slow for large worksheets.
