Styled
(styles, nature)¶ Bases:
object
Styled object, like Table, Row, Column, or Cell objects.
A styled object stores user-defined styles: a dictionary of key-value pairs. This values are useful to store some HTML-like styles (border-style, border-width, border-color, vertical-align, text-align, etc.). Of course, we are not tied to the HTML-like styles, you can use your own list of styles.
Note
The style dictionary is always copied: in other words, key-value pairs are copied but a shallow copy is done for the values (in general, it is not a problem if you use non-mutable values like
str
).A styled object stores a nature: a way to distinguish the body cells, from the header and the footer. The default value is
None
, but you can use “body”, “header”, “footer” or whatever is suitable for your needs. This kind of information is in general not stored in the styles, even if it is similar.Tables can also have a nature, similar to HTML
@class
attribute, you can use it do identify the styles to apply to your table.Note
In a
Grid
, the merging of two natures is done by keeping the first nature and dropping the second one. In other words, the resulting nature is the group of the most top-left nature of the merged cells.-
