Not to be confused with a Game of Thrones
gt
package - a (g)rammar of (t)ablesgt
is an R package for generating formatted tables from dataframes in R with a Grammar of Tables.
If you want to go deeper than this basic guide, check out the gt
site, which has lots of examples!
Raw data comes from: Pro Football Reference & Over the Cap
Per the package website, gt
has the following component parts:
The parts (roughly from top to bottom) are:
- the Table Header (optional; with a title and possibly a subtitle)
- the Stub and the Stub Head (optional; contains row labels, optionally within row groups having row group labels and possibly summary labels when a summary is present)
- the Column Labels (contains column labels, optionally under spanner column labels)
- the Table Body (contains columns and rows of cells)
- the Table Footer (optional; possibly with footnotes and source notes)
As you can see it is fleshing out the idea of formatting or adding various parts of the table in a robust way.
I’ve gone through collecting the data and have put into a non-tidy wide format for Salary Rank, playoff week and appearances, Total appearances, and finally salary from 2014-2019.
