Text.Layout.Table.Vertical

This module provides functions for vertical alginment of columns.

Vertical padding of columns

vPad :: a -> [Position V] -> [Col a] -> [Col a]

Fill all columns to the same length by aligning at the given positions.

vPadAll :: a -> Position V -> [Col a] -> [Col a]

Fill all columns to the same length by aligning at the given position.

Converting columns to rows with positioning

colsAsRowsAll :: Position V -> [Col a] -> [Row (Maybe a)]

Merges multiple columns together to a valid grid without holes. For example:

>>> colsAsRowsAll top [justifyText 10 "This text will not fit on one line.", ["42", "23"]]
[[Just "This  text",Just "42"],[Just "will   not",Just "23"],[Just "fit on one",Nothing],[Just "line.",Nothing]]

The result is intended to be used with a grid layout function like grid.

colsAsRows :: [Position V] -> [Col a] -> [Row (Maybe a)]

Works like colsAsRowsAll but every position can be specified on its own:

>>> colsAsRows [top, center, bottom] [["a1"], ["b1", "b2", "b3"], ["c3"]]
[[Just "a1",Just "b1",Nothing],[Nothing,Just "b2",Nothing],[Nothing,Just "b3",Just "c3"]]
