One simple thing: could you add the tags “tabular” and maybe also “format” or 
“text”? I’m afraid that in its current form, I wouldn’t have found this package 
when searching for it.

Re: [racket-users] tabular text display

2017-09-23 Thread Laurent 
Okay, I made a stand-alone package called 'text-table', uploaded on the pkg
server.

Readme here: https://github.com/Metaxal/text-table/blob/master/README.md

Needs more doc, but it should be rather self-explanatory, in particular if
you try 'racket -l text-table' to see the output of the main example.

Re: [racket-users] tabular text display

2017-09-22 Thread Laurent 
There's something like that buried in my bazaar package, maybe it's
sufficient for your needs:
https://github.com/Metaxal/bazaar/blob/master/text-table.rkt

The main submodule prints the examples.

It provides two ways to output tables. The first one 'table->string' is the
simplest one and the example outputs:

  a │   b │c │  d │ e │  f │  g │h
——
123 │ 456 │   77 │ 54 │ 1 │ 5646547987 │ 41 │1
——
111 │  22 │  │ 44 │ 5 │  6 │  7 │ 

The second one is more tweakable but more complicated and the example
produces:
╔╦╦╦╗
║i   ║║f1  ║f2  ║
╠╬╬╬╣
╠╬╬╬╣
║a   ║║b   ║c   ║
╠╬╬╬╣
║x   ║║y   ║z   ║
╚╩╩╩╝

If I had time I would merge the two and make it both simple and tweakable...

Re: [racket-users] tabular text display

2017-09-21 Thread Greg Hendershott 
Clojure's pretty print collection has a `print-table`[^1].  Similar
might be a handy addition to `racket/pretty`. Presumably it would work
on any dictionary -- as well as a header-less sequence flavor like you
showed?

Maybe someone could do during the Sunday Rackethon. :)

Your example needs a fixed-width font.  Perhaps it would be usefu for it
to be able to produce HTML tables as well.

[racket-users] tabular text display

2017-09-21 Thread 'John Clements' via users-redirect 
Before I go re-inventing the wheel, I want to ask you folks: has anyone written 
a library that prints out tabular data in a textual format?

E.G: given 

‘((“a” “bcd” “ef”) (“gh” “hhu.thnt” “t”)

returns

"
--
| a  | bcd  | ef |
| gh | hhu.thnt | t  |
———
“

(sorry about the horrible damage that Apple Mail inflicts upon this message.)

… in the style of postgresql and similar display engines?

It’s easy to write one of these, but if someone else has done it, it will 
probably have nice bells and whistles that mine won’t.
