tbltex --- latex table generator

This program generates latex table from tsv file.

installation

sudo npm install -g tbltex

global options

• --document or -d ... create entire latex-formated file

column options

repeat the following options to create multiple columns.

• --file or -f ... input file (tsv)
• --sort .. specify one of uUdD to do sorting (uppercase is stronger)
• --resolution ... specify resolution. also X.Y type string is allowed.
• N(number) ... use the Nth column of the input file (default: 0, 1, 2, ...). The number is zero-oriented.
• other string (required) ... create new colum titled with the string

if no files are specified with the column, stdin will be used.

most simple way

$ cat sample_a.txt| tbltex
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c|c} \hline
	sample & a & Column 2 & Column 3 & Column 4\\ \hline
	15 & 288.15 & 1533.8500 & 3.0300 & 0.2960\\
	25 & 298.15 & 1540.7500 & 3.5425 & 0.2844\\

\end{tabular}

simple way

show column 0-2 with the specified headers.

$ cat sample_a.txt | tbltex "Temp [℃]" "Temp [℉]" "$\lambda$ [nm]"
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c} \hline
	Temp [℃] & Temp [℉] & $\lambda$ [nm]\\ \hline
	15 & 288.15 & 1533.8500\\
	25 & 298.15 & 1540.7500\\
	35 & 308.15 & 1545.3500\\
	45 & 318.15 & 1553.3500\\
	55 & 328.15 & 1558.0500\\
	65 & 338.15 & 1562.6500\\ \hline
\end{tabular}

specify resolution

$ cat sample_a.txt | tbltex "Temp [℃]" "Temp [℉]" --resolution .1 "$\lambda$ [nm]"
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c} \hline
	Temp [℃] & Temp [℉] & $\lambda$ [nm]\\ \hline
	15 & 288.15 & 1533.8\\
	25 & 298.15 & 1540.7\\
	35 & 308.15 & 1545.3\\
	45 & 318.15 & 1553.3\\
	55 & 328.15 & 1558.0\\
	65 & 338.15 & 1562.6\\ \hline
\end{tabular}

select column and sort

use column 1 and 2. column 0 is not used.

$ cat sample_a.txt | tbltex --sort down 1 "Temp [℉]" 2 "$\lambda$ [nm]"
\begin{tabular}{c|c} \hline
	Temp [℉] & $\lambda$ [nm]\\ \hline
	338.15 & 1562.6500\\
	328.15 & 1558.0500\\
	318.15 & 1553.3500\\
	308.15 & 1545.3500\\
	298.15 & 1540.7500\\
	288.15 & 1533.8500\\ \hline
\end{tabular}

multiple data files

$ tbltex --file sample_a.txt 1 "Temp [℉]" 2 "$\lambda$ [nm]" --file sample_b.txt 2 "duration [s]"
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c} \hline
	Temp [℉] & $\lambda$ [nm] & duration [s]\\ \hline
	288.15 & 1533.8500 & 0.3662\\
	298.15 & 1540.7500 & 0.3534\\
	308.15 & 1545.3500 & 0.3393\\
	318.15 & 1553.3500 & 0.3295\\
	328.15 & 1558.0500 & 0.3140\\
