data-to-latex

A data to latex converter. Great to visualize your data.

Getting Started:

Dependencies:

• npm
• ES6 compatible Javascript (compatibility table)

Usage:

install using npm install data-to-latex

const dataToLatex = require('data-to-latex');

const exampleData = [
  "Name", "Registered", "Latitude", "Longitude", "Measurements",
  "Kim", "2015-04-17T12:52:08 -02:00", 53.988205, -166.008217, [20.8018, 25.4325],
  "Gordon", "2014-03-14T11:18:30 -01:00", 58.7322, -142.624466, [29.8197, 19.5144],
  "Mcclure", "2015-08-07T09:56:09 -02:00", 51.255166, 143.618947, [16.0908, 28.4438],
  "James", "2015-08-20T01:23:03 -02:00", 51.935684, 166.887844, [28.2362, 24.8768],
  "Branch", "2014-05-24T04:39:57 -02:00", 51.612881, -165.472281, [28.3879, 21.2844]
];

// creates a tabular with 5 columns
let dataMatrix = dataToLatex.formattedTabular(exampleData, 5);
// wraps it with the table keywords and the caption
let wrappedMatrix = dataToLatex.tableWrap(dataMatrix, 'Weatherstations');
// creates the document with the whole content
let doc = new dataToLatex.Document(wrappedMatrix);
// output the document as string
console.log(doc.toString());

Would return Latex Result:
