Text::UnicodeTable::Simple - Create a formatted table using characters.
use Text::UnicodeTable::Simple; $t = Text::UnicodeTable::Simple->new(); $t->set_header(qw/Subject Score/); $t->add_row('English', '78'); $t->add_row('Mathematics', '91'); $t->add_row('Chemistry', '64'); $t->add_row('Physics', '95'); $t->add_row_line(); $t->add_row('Total', '328'); print "$t"; # Result: .-------------+-------. | Subject | Score | +-------------+-------+ | English | 78 | | Mathematics | 91 | | Chemistry | 64 | | Physics | 95 | +-------------+-------+ | Total | 328 | '-------------+-------'
Text::UnicodeTable::Simple creates character table.
There are some modules for creating a text table at CPAN, Text::ASCIITable, Text::SimpleTable, Text::Table etc. But those module deal with only ASCII, don't deal with full width characters. If you use them with full width characters, a table created may be bad-looking.
Text::UnicodeTable::Simple resolves problem of full width characters. So you can use Japansese Hiragana, Katakana, Korean Hangeul, Chinese Kanji characters. See eg/ directory for examples.
eg/
Creates and returns a new table instance with %args.
%args might be
Table header. If you set table header with constructor, you can omit set_header method.
set_header
Table has no border if border is False.
border
Ignore ANSI color escape sequence
Set the headers for the table. (compare with <th> in HTML). You must call set_header firstly. If you call other methods without calling set_header, then you fail.
Input strings should be string, not octet stream.
Add one row to the table.
Add rows to the table. You can add row at one time. Each @collists element should be ArrayRef.
@collists
Add a line after the current row.
Return the table as string.
Text::UnicodeTable::Simple overload stringify operator, so you can omit ->draw() method.
->draw()
