Table generator : Issues with borders and rotated cells
Hi everyone, Excuse my poor English. I recently updated my online table generator (http://latex-tables.com) to support ConTeXt. It also supports many languages, like LaTeX, Plain TeX, Markdown, HTML and more. It uses the eXtreme table format and supports many features including : - Borders, border width and border color - Merged cells - Background color - Alignment (flushleft, center, flushright) - Splitted tables - Rotated tables - Caption - More... However, I have many issues that I have trouble to fix. 1/ I have many troubles with borders, because I can't set the color and the width of each border. Instead, I use "fake rows" and "fake cells" when it is necessary. However, I can't figure out how to set the height of a row to 0.4pt. It's always bigger. So, instead I use "location=hanging" on this row but, because of this, borders are hidden behind the next row's background. What can I do about this ? MWE without background color : \definecolor[Siren][r=0.502,g=0,b=0.251] \definecolor[Rose][r=1,g=0,b=0.502] \definecolor[FlushOrange][r=1,g=0.502,b=0] \definecolor[ElectricViolet][r=0.502,g=0,b=1] \definecolor[Chartreuse][r=0.502,g=1,b=0] \definecolor[BlushPink][r=1,g=0.502,b=1] \placetable[none]{}{ \startxtable[align=lohi,framecolor=Siren,frame=off,leftframe=on,rightframe=on] \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on] \startxcell\stopxcell \startxcell[framecolor=Rose]\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=cyan] A\stopxcell \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=FlushOrange] B\stopxcell \startxcell[width=0pt,framecolor=ElectricViolet]\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on,framecolor=Chartreuse] \startxcell\stopxcell \startxcell[framecolor=BlushPink]\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable } MWE with background color \definecolor[Siren][r=0.502,g=0,b=0.251] \definecolor[Rose][r=1,g=0,b=0.502] \definecolor[FlushOrange][r=1,g=0.502,b=0] \definecolor[ElectricViolet][r=0.502,g=0,b=1] \definecolor[Chartreuse][r=0.502,g=1,b=0] \definecolor[BlushPink][r=1,g=0.502,b=1] \definecolor[Dolly][r=1,g=1,b=0.502] \placetable[none]{}{ \startxtable[align=lohi,background=color,backgroundcolor=Dolly,framecolor=Siren,frame=off,leftframe=on,rightframe=on] \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on,background=none] \startxcell\stopxcell \startxcell[framecolor=Rose]\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=cyan] A\stopxcell \startxcell[rightframe=off,framecolor=FlushOrange] B\stopxcell \startxcell[width=0pt,framecolor=ElectricViolet]\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow[offset=overlay,location=hanging,topframe=on,framecolor=Chartreuse] \startxcell\stopxcell \startxcell[framecolor=BlushPink]\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable } 2/ I have trouble with rotated cells. It seems to affect the width of the table. How can I use a rotated cell without setting manually a fixed width. MWE : \placetable[none]{}{ \startxtable[align=lohi] \startxrow \startxcell \rotate[rotation=90]{Test test test}\stopxcell \startxcell Test\stopxcell \stopxrow \startxrow \startxcell Test\stopxcell \startxcell Test\stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable } Thank you ! - X.D.

Hi everyone,
Excuse my poor English. I recently updated my online table generator (http://latex-tables.com) to support ConTeXt. It also supports many languages, like LaTeX, Plain TeX, Markdown, HTML and more. It uses the eXtreme table format and supports many features including :
- Borders, border width and border color
- Merged cells
- Background color
- Alignment (flushleft, center, flushright)
- Splitted tables
- Rotated tables
- Caption
- More...
However, I have many issues that I have trouble to fix.
1/ I have many troubles with borders, because I can't set the color and the width of each border. Instead, I use "fake rows" and "fake cells" when it is necessary. However, I can't figure out how to set the height of a row to 0.4pt. It's always bigger. So, instead I use "location=hanging" on this row but, because of this, borders are hidden behind the next row's background. What can I do about this ?
Frames accept only a single color and line thickness for all borders but there are two ways to set different values for each side The first method is to disable the frame and apply a background graphic where you draw different lines for each side. The other method is to create a custom renderer for each frame (top, bottom etc.) where you can than apply a different color or linewidth for each side, below (and also attached) is a example where I show how this can be done.
