Apply a Minimal Hokusai Theme to GT Tables — gt_theme

Blue typography and fine horizontal rules inspired by four supplied Hokusai reproductions. White backgrounds and pale paper tints keep analytical tables clean; color does not encode data values. No footer is added.

Usage

gt_theme_hokusai(
  data,
  palette = c("mountain", "wind", "blossom", "lake"),
  table_width = "100%",
  font_size = 14,
  stripe = FALSE,
  font_title = NULL,
  font_body = NULL,
  font_numeric = NULL,
  font_labels = NULL,
  gridlines = FALSE
)

Arguments

data: A gt table object
palette: One of "mountain" (default), "wind", "blossom", or "lake". Each uses blues and paper tones extracted from a different print.
table_width: Character. Width of the table (default: "100%")
font_size: Numeric. Base font size in pixels (default: 14)
stripe: Logical. Apply subtle alternating row shading (default: FALSE).
font_title, font_body, font_numeric, font_labels: A font family or registry key (lora, lato, georgia, roboto_slab, fira_code, host_grotesk). NULL uses the corresponding ekiotable.font_<role> option. Title and body then use ekioplot.font_title and ekioplot.font_text, respectively, before falling back to Lora and Lato. Numeric and label fonts inherit the resolved body font unless explicitly set or configured through their role option. Fonts must be available to the renderer; this function does not install them.
gridlines: Logical. Show light-gray horizontal and vertical cell rules (default: FALSE). Section and outer accent rules remain visible.

Value

A styled gt table object.

Details

The palettes are stored as explicit hex values in R/utils.R. Mountain uses the supplied mountain landscape, wind the windy field, blossom the bullfinch and weeping cherry, and lake the lakeside landscape. Blues and paper colors are extracted from the digital reproductions; summary fills are lightened paper tones on a neutral white canvas. All palettes include a shared neutral gray scale (gray_50 to gray_900). Zebra stripes use gray_100, gridlines use gray_200, and structural dividers use gray_300.

Body text and column labels use dark gray; subtitles and notes use a softer dark gray. Blue emphasizes titles, group headings, and summaries.

Apply the theme before any cell-specific highlighting. Font arguments and options follow gt_theme_ekio().
