Ctables, a table printing library written in C.

Building

• git clone git://github.com/enkitosh/Ctables.git

• cd Ctables/src

• make clean && make

The library will be created in the lib/ directory, and all the source/object files will be in src/.

Options

0. STRICT - User adds dimensions, table handles the indexing
   FREELY - Data is added to table and user
            handles indexing
1. Options - COLORFUL : make table sensitive to color and higlighting
		 TRANSPARENT : make a table without any borders, color is turned on by this option as well
             NOCOLOR  : 	Prints B/W table
2. Alignment - CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT

3. ENUMERATE - Display row/column numbers along table data. Pass NONE if
               this is not desired...

EXAMPLE

int ops[MAX_OPS] = {STRICT, COLORFUL, RIGHT, ENUMERATE};

/*Initialize table*/
table_t *newer_table = initialize_table(ops, 7, 7);
for(i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
   for(j = 0; j < 7; j++) {
      add(newer_table, "Sweet");
   }
}

/*Color each row differently*/
color_row(newer_table, 0, RED);
color_row(newer_table, 1, GREEN);
color_row(newer_table, 2, YELLOW);
color_row(newer_table, 3, BLUE);
color_row(newer_table, 4, MAGNETA);
color_row(newer_table, 5, CYAN);
color_row(newer_table, 6, WHITE);

/*Print our table*/
    print(newer_table);
        
        /*Free it*/
    free_table(newer_table);

EXAMPLE

Act freely, No colors, Center-alignment, No enumeration

    int ops_2[MAX_OPS] = {FREELY, NOCOLOR, CENTER, NONE};
    table_t *neu_tableu = initialize_table(ops_2, 5, 2);

/*If we want indexing we have to use the add_freely function*/
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 0,0, "Hello");
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 1,0, "I am");
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 2,0, "a very");
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 3,0, "fine");
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 4,0, "table");

/*Column width will be adjusted to string length*/
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 0,1, "This is a totally acceptable length");
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 1,1, "So is this");
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 2,1, "...");
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 3,1, "au");
    add_freely(neu_tableu, 4,1, "revoir");

        print(neu_tableu);

        free_table(neu_tableu);
