Since I also needed table drawing functionality for a side project, I implemented a small “table drawer” library myself, which I uploaded to github.
In order to produce such a table – for instance – …
… you would need this code.
In the same file you find the code for that table as well:
The current “feature list” includes:
- set font and font size on table level as well as on cell level
- define single cells with bottom-, top-, left- and right-border width separately
- define the background color on row or cell level
- define padding (top, bottom, left, right) on cell level
- define border color (on table, row or cell level)
- specify text alignment (vertical and horizontal)
- cell spanning and row spanning
- text wrapping and line spacing
Also it should not be too hard to add missing stuff like having different border colors for borders on top, bottom, left and right-borders, if needed.
