Text back-end examples

In the following, it is presented how the following matrix can be printed using the text back-end.

julia> data = Any[ 1    false      1.0     0x01 ;
                   2     true      2.0     0x02 ;
                   3    false      3.0     0x03 ;
                   4     true      4.0     0x04 ;
                   5    false      5.0     0x05 ;
                   6     true      6.0     0x06 ;]

The following example indicates how highlighters can be used to highlight the lowest and highest element in the data considering the columns 1, 3, and 5:

Since this package has support to the API defined by Tables.jl, then many formats, e.g DataFrames.jl, can be pretty printed:

You can use hlines keyword to divide the table into interesting parts:

If you want to break lines inside the cells, then you can set the keyword linebreaks to true. Hence, the characters \n will cause a line break inside the cell.

The keyword noheader can be used to suppres the header, which leads to a very simplistic, compact format.

In the following, it is shown how the filters can be used to print only the even rows and columns:

By default, if the data is larger than the screen, then it will be cropped to fit it. This can be changed by using the keywords crop and screen_size.

You can use the keyword columns_width to select the width of each column, so that the data is cropped to fit the available space.

If you want to save the printed table to a file, you can do:

julia> open("output.txt", "w") do f
            pretty_table(f,data)
       end

This package can also be used to create data reports in text format:

julia> data = ["Torques" "" "" "";
               "Atmospheric drag" "."^10 10 "10⁻⁵ Nm";
               "Gravity gradient" "."^10 3 "10⁻⁵ Nm";
               "Solar radiation pressure" "."^10 0.1 "10⁻⁵ Nm";
               "Total" "."^10 13.1 "10⁻⁵ Nm";
               "" "" "" ""
               "Angular momentum" "" "" "";
               "Atmospheric drag" "."^10 6.5 "Nms";
               "Gravity gradient" "."^10 3.0 "Nms";
               "Solar radiation pressure" "."^10 1.0 "Nms";
               "Total" "."^10 10.5 "Nms"]

julia> pretty_table(data, borderless;
                    noheader = true,
                    cell_alignment = Dict( (1,1) => :l, (7,1) => :l ),
                    formatter = ft_printf("%10.1f", 2),
                    highlighters = (hl_cell( [(1,1);(7,1)], crayon"bold"),
                                    hl_col(2, crayon"dark_gray"),
                                    hl_row([5,11], crayon"bold yellow")),
                    hlines = [1,7],
                    hlines_format = Tuple('─' for _ = 1:4) )
