Vertically align digits on the decimal point?

[welshpf]

Hi Mr. Yoshida,

Thank you and your colleagues for creating a great resource for all of us to benefit from! My issue is not so much an issue as a functionality question. Is there was a way to vertically align digits on the decimal point using the print(CreateTableOne) function? I get that sending print(CreateTableOne) creates a matrix object, but I'm not sure how to align those digits in R. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

repro<-structure(c("1000", "2000.00 (0.00)", "1000.00 (00.00)", "600", 
"700.00 (0.00)", "50.72 (50.00)"), .Dim = 3:2, .Dimnames = list(
    c("n", "unique_n", "Age"), `Stratified by Something` = c("0", 
    "1")))

         Stratified by Something
           0                 1              
  n        "1000"            "600"          
  unique_n "2000.00 (0.00)"  "700.00 (0.00)"
  Age      "1000.00 (00.00)" "50.72 (50.00)"

Did you use noSpaces = TRUE? Normally the digits are aligned, when using a monospace font (like Courier New) and left aligning the column.

This is just the first example from the help page of CreateTableOne and this can be saved as a csv file without problems.
