The Athletic theme for gt tables

Modeled on The Athletic's tables. A monospaced Spline Sans Mono body, uppercase Work Sans labels and titles, dotted rules between rows, thin vertical rules separating the columns, and a solid black row-group band with knocked-out white labels. All columns are centered.

Usage

gt_theme_athletic(
  gt_object,
  density = c("comfortable", "compact", "social"),
  ...
)

Arguments

gt_object

A gt table object to modify.

density

Character. The type and padding scale. One of "comfortable", "compact", or "social". See Density. Defaults to "comfortable".

...

Additional arguments passed to gt::tab_options, applied last so they override anything the theme sets.

Value

Returns a modified gt table with the theme applied.

Details

The row rules are a dotted top border applied to every body row, and the column separators are a thin left border on every column except the first, so the stub reads without a leading rule. Both are drawn with gt::cell_borders() rather than table options. A table id is resolved (or generated) up front so the gt::opt_css() block can pin the closing row border and heading padding to this table alone. density rescales the finished table, since this theme sets its sizes directly rather than deriving them from a scale.

Density

density scales the theme's type and row padding together. "comfortable" leaves every size as the theme sets it, "compact" scales both down, and "social" scales both up, to the scale gt_save_crop() and gt_social_crop() export at.
