Functions

def draw_box_borders(pdf, x1, y1, x2, y2, border, fill_color=None)

Draws a box using the provided style - private helper used by table for drawing the cell and table borders. Difference between this and rect() is that border can be defined as "L,R,T,B" to draw only some of the four borders; compatible with get_border(i,k)

Object that fpdf.FPDF.table() yields, used to build a table in the document. Detailed usage documentation: https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/Tables.html

Args

fpdf : fpdf.FPDF
FPDF current instance
rows
optional. Sequence of rows (iterable) of str to initiate the table cells with text content
align : str, Align
optional, default to CENTER. Sets the table horizontal position relative to the page, when it's not using the full page width
borders_layout : str, TableBordersLayout
optional, default to ALL. Control what cell borders are drawn
cell_fill_color : float, tuple, DeviceGray, DeviceRGB
optional. Defines the cells background color
cell_fill_mode : str, TableCellFillMode
optional. Defines which cells are filled with color in the background
col_widths : float, tuple
optional. Sets column width. Can be a single number or a sequence of numbers
first_row_as_headings : bool
optional, default to True. If False, the first row of the table is not styled differently from the others
gutter_height : float
optional vertical space between rows
gutter_width : float
optional horizontal space between columns
headings_style : FontFace
optional, default to bold. Defines the visual style of the top headings row: size, color, emphasis…
line_height : number
optional. Defines how much vertical space a line of text will occupy
markdown : bool
optional, default to False. Enable markdown interpretation of cells textual content
text_align : str, Align, tuple
optional, default to JUSTIFY. Control text alignment inside cells.
v_align : str, fpdf.enums.AlignV
optional, default to CENTER. Control vertical alignment of cells content
width : number
optional. Sets the table width
wrapmode : WrapMode
"WORD" for word based line wrapping (default), "CHAR" for character based line wrapping.
padding : number, tuple, Padding
optional. Sets the cell padding. Can be a single number or a sequence of numbers, default:0 If padding for left and right ends up being non-zero then c_margin is ignored.
outer_border_width : number
optional. Sets the width of the outer borders of the table. Only relevant when borders_layout is ALL or NO_HORIZONTAL_LINES. Otherwise, the border widths are controlled by FPDF.set_line_width()
num_heading_rows : number
optional. Sets the number of heading rows, default value is 1. If this value is not 1, first_row_as_headings needs to be True if num_heading_rows>1 and False if num_heading_rows=0. For backwards compatibility, first_row_as_headings is used in case num_heading_rows is 1.
repeat_headings : TableHeadingsDisplay
optional, indicates whether to print table headings on every page, default to 1.

Methods

def get_cell_border(self, i, j, cell)

Defines which cell borders should be drawn. Returns a string containing some or all of the letters L/R/T/B, to be passed to fpdf.FPDF.multi_cell(). Can be overriden to customize this logic

def render(self)

This is an internal method called by fpdf.FPDF.table() once the table is finished

def row(self, cells=(), style=None)

Adds a row to the table. Returns a Row object.
