Great!! What did you use to generate "opening price over time" graphs?

[@rappa753]

Those were created with ggplot using the original data set

Excellent tutorial! Would it be possible to access your tbl_data.csv file? Would love to reproduce your gt table.

[@rappa753]

Glad that you like it Alberto. Also good idea with the csv file. I'll upload it soon.

[@rappa753]

The csv file is now available in the blog post. A direct link to the csv file is: albert-rapp.de/posts/22_gt_py_and_r/tbl_data.csv

Wonderful. What tools do you use to record your videos?

[@rappa753]

I use OBS Studio for recording and Davinci Resolve for Editing. Both are free tools (though Davinci Resolve is quite resource intensive, so you'll need the tech to run it)

Thanks for your great tutorials. Is it possible to render the gt Tables as pdf with all elements?

[@rappa753]

You're welcome 🤗 you should be able to render your Quarto document as PDF. I believe the table will then be included as an image. Alternatively, you can export as a docx file with gtsave() and convert that to PDF

[@olearydj]

I quite enjoy your work, and GT is great but do these HTML tricks work when building PDFs? It would be great to learn more about getting the best pdf output from this package. I’m currently converting to kable and get reasonably good results, but am sure I could do better.

[@rappa753]

In that case you'll probably have to insert the table as an image file 🤔

[@olearydj]

@@rappa753 I guess that could work... a helper function to wrap GT output that saves the table to an image in my project folder and then outputs text to embed it in the document. Saving it as an SVG would have few downsides... hmmm. FYI, here is what I'm doing now and get 90% results. Footnotes will show up in the bottom of the table but the actual footnote markers don't, so I have to remove them all and just add that info to the text. mv_tbl |> modify_footnote(update = everything() ~ NA) |> as_kable_extra( booktabs = TRUE, escape = FALSE, linesep = "\\addlinespace", ) |> kableExtra::kable_styling( latex_options = c("scale_down"), font_size = 11 )

Gt or flextable?
