Long text getting truncated in table view

[Meandmore]

I'm attempting to get long text to appear in a cell. From the data file:

The text has embedded newlines (0x0a) which appear to work,

and the data appears to be going into the model correctly,

but (as seen in the second and third images) the displayed info is being truncated. Is there anything that can be done with that?

[dmnfarrell]

It doesn't support wrapping as such. I think the truncation is done in the drawText method https://github.com/dmnfarrell/tkintertable/blob/master/tkintertable/Tables.py
I don't actively make updates to this library but if you can change it in a way that doesn't break normal behaviour I would be glad to integrate the code.

[Meandmore]

Here's line 1634 [in drawText()]:
celltxt = celltxt[0:int(math.floor(newlength))]

There should be no trouble partitioning around newlines, but the height of the cell will now have to be considered. I haven't used tkintertable long enough -- is there only one row height for the whole table? If so, then either all rows might be height-increased; or the font size can be decreased; or the text is truncated but not until the height is filled. I suspect the first two are non-starters.

While not optimal for me, if the text can be extended that would be better than nothing. (BTW, I'm not suggesting an automatic wrap - the user would have to provide embedded newlines in the text to create multiple lines in the cell.)

Are you OK with any of those options?

[dmnfarrell]

Yes there is a single global row height and font size. These can be changed in the prefs dialog.
The text length is meant to be truncated to fit the column but seems isn't accurately calculated anyway. A proper wrap would be best rather than a hack based on newlines but I realise it would take time to implement. Any solution that doesn't break the normal behaviour is ok. You might be better off subclassing the table and implementing your own drawText that doesn't truncate.

Note that I implemented wrapping in pandastable but just for the column header ( http://dmnfarrell.github.io/dataexplore/2018/06/21/newrelease-0.10). So the code in there might be of use also. see https://github.com/dmnfarrell/pandastable/blob/master/pandastable/headers.py

I download last version, but i have seems problem:

Did you can help fix it?

[dmnfarrell]

The table can't deal with non ascii characters very well. You are using cyrilic? I'll have to see how easy it is to fix.

[alex-pancho]

it is unicode encoding, but yes, it is cyrillic.
or maybe its cp1251 -Widows Cyrillic

i have some other question about tkintertable, if you can help - it was amazing!

I need to get values truncated otherwise it looks really bad for my purposes how did you make that happen?

I think you know my problem ... what should be the solution to make this calculation more accurate?
