tabletexifier 0.1.2

Pretty formatted tables that can be exported to LaTeX

The goal of this project is to allow an easy interface to create Tables that are not only printed nicely in the terminal, but can also be easily exported to LaTeX code.

How to Install

pip install tabletexifier

How to use

>>> from tabletexifier import Table
>>> x = Table(['Name', 'b','c','d','e']) 
>>> x.add_row(['first',1,4,6,7])
>>> x.add_row(['second',1,4,6,7])

By printing the table, we have

>>> print(x)

 --------------------------
 | Name   | b | c | d | e |
 +--------+---+---+---+---+
 | first  | 1 | 4 | 6 | 7 |
 +--------+---+---+---+---+
 | second | 1 | 4 | 6 | 7 |
 --------------------------

It can be converted to Latex by

>>> print(x.build_latex())

\begin{table}
\caption{\label{Tab:}}
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline Name   & b & c & d & e \\ \hline
first  & 1 & 4 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline
second & 1 & 4 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

It is also possible to set the number of decimal places in the numerical entries:

>>> x.set_decimal_places(4)
>>> print(x)

----------------------------------------------
| Name   | b      | c      | d      | e      |
+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| first  | 1.0000 | 4.0000 | 6.0000 | 7.0000 |
+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| second | 1.1331 | 4.0000 | 6.0000 | 7.1410 |
----------------------------------------------

To build a table with lestt vertical and/or vertical lines:

>>> x.set_design_property("lines", 'T')

will update both the ASCII table and the Latex one:

>>> print(x)

  Name   | b c d e
 --------+--------
  first  | 1 4 6 7
  second | 1 4 6 7

>>> print(x.build_latex())
\begin{table}
\caption{\label{Tab:}}
\begin{tabular}{l|llll}
 Name   & b & c & d & e \\ \hline
 first  & 1 & 4 & 6 & 7 \\ 
 second & 1 & 4 & 6 & 7 \\ 
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

ToDo list

• Add proper docs for missing functionalities (e.g. change alignement of columns or the vertical lines)
• Write tests for the functions
