equalBins {Hmisc} | R Documentation |
Expands the width either supercolumns or the subcolumns so that the the sum of the supercolumn widths is the same as the sum of the subcolumn widths.
equalBins(widths, subwidths)
widths |
widths of the supercolumns. |
subwidths |
list of widths of the subcolumns for each supercolumn. |
This determins the correct subwidths of each of various columns in a table for printing. The correct width of the multicolumns is deterimed by summing the widths of it subcolumns.
widths of the the columns for a table.
