TableView

TableView [{{expr11,expr12,},{expr21,expr22,},}]

displays as a spreadsheet-like table view for editing and viewing exprij.

TableView [Dynamic [x]]

takes the contents of the table view to be the dynamically updated current value of x, with the value of x being reset as the table view is interactively edited.

TableView [table,type]

uses the specified type by default to represent newly edited or created entries in the table view.

TableView []

displays an empty table view.

Details and Options

ScrollPosition {0,0} scroll position if scrolling is enabled
  • Settings for the options Alignment , Background , ItemSize and ItemStyle can be given as follows to apply separately to different items:
  • spec apply spec to all items
    {specx} apply specx at successive horizontal positions
    {specx,specy} apply speck at successive horizontal and vertical positions
    {specx,specy,rules} also allow explicit rules for individual i, j elements
  • The speck can have the following forms:
  • {s1,s2,,sn} use s1 through sn, then use defaults
    {{c}} use c in all cases
    {{c1,c2}} alternate between c1 and c2
    {{c1,c2,}} cycle through all ci
    {s,{c}} use s, then repeatedly use c
    {s1,s2,,{c1, c2,},sm,,sn} use the first sequence of si at the beginning, then cyclically use ci, then use the last sequence of si at the end
    {i1->v1,i2->v2,} specify what to use at positions ik
    {spec,rules} use rules to override specifications in spec
  • TableView supports viewing and creation of ragged tables of data.
  • Empty entries in TableView are omitted upon evaluation if they can be clipped from the right edge of the table. If empty entries are within a table, they are represented as empty strings or Null as appropriate for the specified type.
  • Setting may be used with TableView to extract the underlying data.
  • TableView is specifically designed to allow efficient viewing, editing and file storage of very large tables of data in notebooks.
  • Possible elements in AppearanceElements include "RowHeaders", "CollapsedRowHeaders", "ColumnHeaders", "CollapsedColumnHeaders", "Frame" and "ResizeArea".

    Basic Examples  (2)

    Numerical data in TableView :

    Numbers and strings:

    Scope  (11)

    Structure  (5)

    An empty TableView :

    A regular array of data:

    A ragged array of data:

    Arrays with empty fields:

    Empty rows and columns:

    Types  (6)

    Numbers:

    Strings:

    Mixed data:

    Expressions:

    Images and graphics:

    Boxes:

    Options  (20)

    Alignment  (1)

    Center content:

    AllowedDimensions  (2)

    Set the dimensions to be exactly 4 columns by 3 rows:

    Automatic scrollbars appear if the allowed dimensions cannot be displayed all at once:

    With unconstrained dimensions, the scroll position can be set arbitrarily high:

    With constrained dimensions, the scroll position will not move past the constraints:

    AppearanceElements  (2)

    Show collapsed headers and collapsed columns:

    The "Frame" element always displays as a thin gray frame:

    To use a customized frame, omit the "Frame" element and use Framed :

    Background  (7)

    Draw the view with a pink background:

    Pink and gray backgrounds for the columns at the first and second horizontal positions:

    An equivalent syntax:

    Pink and gray backgrounds for the rows at the first and second vertical positions:

    Alternating pink and gray backgrounds:

    Alternating backgrounds with yellow superimposed in the first and last positions:

    Blending of colors:

    Set the background for specific items:

    Set the background for a subregion of the grid:

    BaselinePosition  (2)

    Align the center of the grid with the baseline of surrounding text:

    Align the bottom of the grid with the baseline:

    HeaderSize  (1)

    Make the first column wider:

    ImageSize  (1)

    Display views at various sizes:

    Scrollbars  (3)

    By default, scrollbars do not appear if the TableView can display all of the data at once:

    They do appear if the data would otherwise be clipped:

    Always display scrollbars, even when the data fits within the view:

    Suppress scrollbars even if the data would be clipped at the current ImageSize :

    ScrollPosition  (1)

    Specify the initial position of a view:

    Properties & Relations  (1)

    TableView takes many of the same options as Grid with similar specifications:

    Unlike Grid , TableView has no right or bottom; specifications of the right or bottom do not do anything:
