Orientation for Wider Tables

[PallabiniDash]

Hi Team,

In clinical reporting, some cases require landscape orientation for wider tables, especially when multiple treatment arms or timepoints are involved.

For future enhancement, could the package support orientation options to allow for the effective rendering of wider tables? This would greatly improve flexibility when generating complex clinical tables.

Thank you for your efforts on the {clinify} package.

Thank you .

Thanks for the input, @PallabiniDash.

The current default of {clinify} is landscape tables. So - is your desire to have the flexibility to do both portrait and landscape orientation as an easy configuration option?

It's not an elegant solution at the moment, but by using the clinify_docx_default(), the document attributes and margins like this. You can override that in your session to something like this and you could reset to portrait:

clinify_docx_override <- function() {
  # I want these as defaults but need to carry it forward because
  # the default section strips it off
  margins <- as.list(
    append(officer::docx_dim(officer::read_docx())$margins, list(gutter = 0))
  )

  officer::prop_section(
    type = "continuous",
    page_margins = do.call(officer::page_mar, margins)
  )
}

op <- options(clinify_docx_default = clinify_docx_override)
