exporting tables (ascii or LaTeX)

[Tamas Papp]

Hi,

I am solving some economic models in Julia. I have vectors that describe
various moments, for some data and then for a bunch of models. I would
like to export them to LaTeX, and if possible to ASCCI like org-mode.

| moment | data | model1 | model2 | ... |
|----------+------+--------+--------+-----|
| UE / 1m | 0.37 | 0.37 | 0.37 | |
| UE / 12m | 0.59 | 0.90 | 0.89 | |
| ... | | | | |

I found LaTeX.jl, I am wondering if anyone can suggest another solution,
especially for the ASCII tables. Dumping in some format that Julia can
export to, then converting with some external tool would not be a
problem, especially since I could automate the whole thing from Julia.

Best,

Tamas

Dear Tamas,

I am using `writedlm` followed by conversion to `markdown` and `html` using
`pandoc` for now. However, since there are no methods for specifying the
float format in `writedlm`, I couldn't find a way to make the solution
look pretty (expect using C `printf`).

Markdown tables from pandoc look pretty similar to the one you have
shown.

For a simple solution, you might try Mustache which can iterate over a data frame. Something like this could be generalized:

using Mustache

using DataFrames

d = DataFrame(a=1:10, b=rand(10))

d[:b] = round(d[:b],2)

tpl="""

\\begin{table}

  \\centering

  \\begin{tabular}{cc}

    {{#df}}{{a}}&{{b}}\\\\{{/df}}

  \\end{tabular}

  \\caption{ {{caption}} }

  \\label{tab:{{label}}}

\\end{table}

"""

render(tpl, ["df"=>d, "caption"=>"caption", "label" => "label"]) |> print

I have to tried it myself yet, but did you see https://github.com/scheinerman/LatexPrint.jl?

Thanks for the link -- I was not aware of this, so I wrote my own
library which can print as org-mode, Markdown, and some other
formats. Will make it public soon, I am finalizing the interface now.

Best,

Tamas

Has this library been made public? I would be interested in using it. Thanks!
