LaTeX::Table::Types::TypeI - Interface for LaTeX table types.
This is the type interface (or Moose role), that all type objects must use. LaTeX::Table delegates the LaTeX code generation to type objects. It stores all information we have in easy to use "TEMPLATE VARIABLES". LaTeX::Table ships with very flexible templates, but it is possible to use the template variables defined here to build custom templates.
generate_latex_code
Most options are accessible here:
CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT
Example:
[% IF CENTER %]\centering [% END %]
ENVIRONMENT, STAR, POSITION, SIDEWAYS
These options for floating environments are typically used like:
[% IF ENVIRONMENT %]\begin{[% ENVIRONMENT %][% IF STAR %]*[% END %]}[% IF POSITION %][[% POSITION %]][% END %] ... [% END %] # the tabular environment here ... [% IF ENVIRONMENT %] ... \end{[% ENVIRONMENT %][% IF STAR %]*[% END %]}[% END %]
CAPTION_TOP, CAPTION_CMD, SHORTCAPTION, CAPTION, CONTINUED, CONTINUEDMSG
The variables to build the caption command. Note that there is NO template for the maincaption option. CAPTION already includes this maincaption if specified.
maincaption
CAPTION
LABEL
The label:
[% IF LABEL %]\label{[% LABEL %]}[% END %]
TABULAR_ENVIRONMENT, WIDTH, COLDEF
These three options define the tabular environment:
\begin{[% TABULAR_ENVIRONMENT %]}[% IF WIDTH %]{[% WIDTH %]}[% END %]{[% COLDEF %]}
FONTFAMILY, FONTSIZE
[% IF FONTSIZE %]\[% FONTSIZE %] [% END %][% IF FONTFAMILY %]\[% FONTFAMILY %]family [% END %]
TABLEHEADMSG, TABLETAIL, TABLELASTTAIL, XENTRYSTRETCH
For the multi-page tables.
MAXWIDTH, FOOTTABLE
Currently only used by LaTeX::Table::Types::Ctable.
In addition, some variables already contain formatted LaTeX code:
HEADER_CODE
The formatted header:
\toprule \multicolumn{2}{c}{Item} & \\ \cmidrule(r){1-2} Animal & Description & Price \\ \midrule
DATA_CODE
The formatted data:
Gnat & per gram & 13.65 \\ & each & 0.01 \\ Gnu & stuffed & 92.59 \\ Emu & stuffed & 33.33 \\ Armadillo & frozen & 8.99 \\ \bottomrule
RESIZEBOX_BEGIN_CODE, RESIZEBOX_END_CODE
Everything between these two template variables is resized according the resizebox option.
resizebox
EXTRA_ROW_HEIGHT_CODE, DEFINE_COLORS_CODE, RULES_COLOR_GLOBAL_CODE, RULES_WIDTH_GLOBAL_CODE
Specified by the theme. EXTRA_ROW_HEIGHT_CODE will contain the corresponding LaTeX extrarowheight command, e.g for '1pt':
EXTRA_ROW_HEIGHT_CODE
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{1pt}
Otherwise it will contain the empty string. The other template variables will contain the command specified by the corresponding theme option.
Finally, some variables allow access to internal LaTeX::Table variables:
LaTeX::Table
LT_NUM_COLUMNS
Contains the number of columns of the table.
LT_BOTTOM_RULE_CODE
Code that draws the rules at the bottom of the table according the theme options.
The predefined templates: LaTeX::Table::Types::Std, LaTeX::Table::Types::Ctable, LaTeX::Table::Types::Longtable, LaTeX::Table::Types::Xtab
