text::formattable

Text::FormatTable(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Text::FormatTable(3pm)

NAME

       Text::FormatTable - Format text tables

SYNOPSIS

	my $table = Text::FormatTable->new('r|l');
	$table->head('a', 'b');
	$table->rule('=');
	$table->row('c', 'd');
	print $table->render(20);

DESCRIPTION

       Text::FormatTable renders simple tables as text. You pass to the constructor (new) a table format specification similar to LaTeX (e.g.
       "r|l|5l|R|20L") and you call methods to fill the table data and insert rules. After the data is filled, you call the render method and the
       table gets formatted as text.

       Methods:

       new($format)
	   Create a Text::FormatTable object, the format of each column is specified as a character of the $format string. The following formats
	   are defined:

	   l   Left-justified top aligned word-wrapped text.

	   L   Left-justified bottom aligned word-wrapped text.

	   r   Right-justified top aligned word-wrapped text.

	   R   Right-justified bottom aligned word-wrapped text.

	   10R, 20r, 15L, 12l,
	       Number is fixed width of the column.  Justified and aligned word-wrapped text (see above).

	   ' ' A space.

	   |   Column separator.

       head($col1, $col2, ...)
	   Add a header row using $col1, $col2, etc. as cell contents. Note that, at the moment, header rows are treated like normal rows.

       row($col1, $col2, ...)
	   Add a row with $col1, $col2, etc. as cell contents.

       rule([$char])
	   Add an horizontal rule. If $char is specified it will be used as character to draw the rule, otherwise '-' will be used.

       render([$screen_width])
	   Return the rendered table formatted with $screen_width or 79 if it is not specified.
