Compact borderless printing

[sethaxen]

I tend to prefer printing tables with no borders to save space. On PrettyTables v2, I would do this like

julia> using PrettyTables

julia> table = (x=randn(5), y=randn(5));

julia> pretty_table(table; hlines=:none, vlines=:none, show_subheader=false)
         x           y 
  0.788356  -0.0725819
 -0.879859   -0.912923
 -0.873793    0.631621
 -0.733255     1.43868
 -0.702195    -0.35417

If I understand the docs correctly, on PrettyTables v3, this is the analog:

julia> pretty_table(
           table;
           table_format=TextTableFormat(; borders=text_table_borders__borderless),
           show_first_column_label_only=true,
       )

          x            y 

   0.788356   -0.0725819
  -0.879859    -0.912923
  -0.873793     0.631621
  -0.733255      1.43868
  -0.702195     -0.35417

Compared to v2, there's an extra space on the left and a newline between the column labels and the column data. Is it possible to remove these?

Hi @sethaxen !

The problem is that you are still using a border, but without a printable character. In this case, you need to actually remove the lines. You can get the same result using:

julia> using PrettyTables

julia> table = (x=randn(5), y=randn(5));

julia> pretty_table(
           table;
           table_format = TextTableFormat(; @text__no_vertical_lines, @text__no_horizontal_lines),
           show_first_column_label_only = true
       )
         x          y
  0.815515   0.605351
 -0.331338   0.976247
 -0.454881  -0.465393
 -0.923568  -0.704958
