[R] Using odfWeave to Produce Tables with Right-aligned Cells

[Kuhn, Max]

Rick,

First, please send the results of SessionInfo so I know exactly what
versions you are using. Also, are you using OpenOffice? If so, what
version? 

If you use the current version of odfWeave, there is a file with many
details about formatting in the examples subdirectory.

Here is what I (would) do:

   library(odfWeave)
   
   styles <- getStyleDefs()
   styles$rightAligned <- styles$ArialCentered
   styles$rightAligned$textAlign <- "right"
   setStyleDefs(styles)
   
   current <- getStyles()
   current$cellText <- "rightAligned"
   setStyles(current)
   
   demoFile <- system.file("examples", "simple.odt", package =
"odfWeave")
   odfWeave(demoFile, "test.odt") 

Strangely, this *left* justifies the text (you probably already know
this but you didn't provide any details). I checked the xml and it is
doing what I intended (using an alignment of "center" works just fine). 

Looking at the ODF specification, a value of "end" can also be used. I
used this in the code above and it worked. I'll dig a little deeper, but
this should help.

Max

Subject: [R] Using odfWeave to Produce Tables with Right-aligned Cells

I cannot figure out how to use odfWeave to produce tables with
right-aligned columns. None of the examples show this and I'm completely
confused on how to achieve this. Could someone share a simple example?

Rick B.
