TexUtils

Just a collection of useful python scripts to make your tex life easier

table.py

Automatically generates tex tables from your acquired data.

IMPORTANT: You have to use the package siunitx in your .tex file if you want to import the generated file into your main document

Usage:

 
x, y = np.genfromtxt('data.txt') # If using numpy. TexTable also accepts generic lists
table = TexTable([x, y], [r'Y / \si{\second}', r'My Y data'], label='table:mytable', caption='Description')
table.setRowRounding(0, 1) # Row given at index 0 should be rounded after 1 places
table.writeFile('myTable.tex')

And in tex just include:

 
\begin{document}
....
\input{myTable.tex}
...
\end{document}
 

The TexTable takes two necessary arguments:

1. First an array with your data rows
2. Second an array with the names the rows have

Optional arguments are:

• label - The label of the table
• caption - The Caption of the table
• roundPrecision - How many places should be rounded (default 2)

Additional functions:

• table.setRowRounding(rowIndex, precision) # Set rounding options of individual rows
• table.addRowOption('table-format=2.1') # Set row options which are inserted into the tex code

Combining tables into a subtable

 
from texutils.table import Combine

t1 = TexTable([a, b])
t2 = TexTable([c, d])

Combine(t1, t2).writeFile('myCombinedTable.tex')
 

error.py

Generates your error formulas for gaussian error propagation in latex code and calculates your numerical error values with the uncertainties package - all in one go.

Usage:

x_error = Error('x + b * c', ('x', ufloat(10, 0.1)), ('b', ufloat(5, 0.3)), ('c', ufloat(2, 0.25))
print(x_error.getLatexError())
print(x_error.getNumericalError())
