LaTeX-Table version 0.9.4 LaTeX::Table provides functionality for an intuitive and easy generation of LaTeX tables. It ships with some predefined good looking table styles. This module s upports multipage tables via the C package and publication quality tables with the C package. It also supports the C package for nicer fixed-width tables. Furthermore, it supports the C package for colored tables optimized for presentations. LaTeX makes professional typesetting easy. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true for tables. Many additional, highly specialized packages are therefore available on CTAN. This module supports the best packages and visualizes your in Perl generated or summarized results with high quality. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install Alternatively, to install with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, you can use the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Now start the script generate_examples.pl in the examples directory of this distibution. perl generate_examples.pl This script generates some LaTeX files with some example tables. Now please compile these examples with LaTeX and check if all tables look ok: latex examples.tex xdvi examples.dvi PROGRAMS This module ships with two small utilities. The first, csv2pdf is a CSV to PDF converter. It is only about 100 lines of code short and only meant as an example application, but it is already very powerful. It requires Getopt::Long, Text::CSV, LaTeX::Encode and LaTeX::Driver, which are not installed during the installation of this module. The second utility is ltpretty. It takes a lazy formatted LaTeX table from STDIN (typically piped from Vim or emacs) and outputs a completely formatted table. This makes this module not only useful for automatically generated reports, but also saves a lot of typing work in creating custom tables.
