Pre-defined Formats

The text backend has some predefined borders and formats to print the tables.

Borders

We can change the printed table borders using the parameter borders in the structure TextTableFormat passed to the keyword table_format.

Formats

The text backend also defined some pre-defined formats to print the tables that can be used through the keyword table_format in pretty_table.

text_table_format__matrix

julia> pretty_table(
         ones(3, 3);
         backend = :text,
         show_column_labels = false,
         table_format = text_table_format__matrix
