Tutorial on how to use ovtable

>>> import ovtable

>>> ot = ovtable.OvTable(60, 30, True)
>>> # 60 is width, 30 is height
>>> # True means you want to use __str__
>>> # False means you want to render it (use ot.render())

>>> ot.add_row(1)
>>> ot[0, 0] = "Hello, OvTable"
>>> print(ot)
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                      Hello, OvTable                      │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

>>> ot.add_row(2)
>>> ot[1, 0] = [("I'm red", "r"), (" ok, I'm blue", "b")]
>>> ot[1, 1] = "I am in row 2, col 2"
>>> print(ot)
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                      Hello, OvTable                      │
├────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┤
│    I'm red ok, I'm blue    │    I am in row 2, col 2     │
└────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┘

With ot[x, y] = value or ot[x, y] = [(s1, color1), (s2, color2), ...], we can render some interesting things! See ./examples/.

Why not PrettyTable?

Why created ovtable when we already have PrettyTable?

Well, mainly two reasons:

• First, PrettyTable does not support different number of rows per line.
• Second, our APIs is more suitable for rendering tables dynamically.
