is it possible display several dataframes side by side ?

Hi

I was wondering if there is a way to use your package to display several data frames side by side in a jupyter notebook cell. kind of being able to replicate the powepoint slides from this youtube video

Hi Dragos!

I think the best approach is to just write a little function that puts each table into a cell of another (invisible) table. You can get the HTML representation of an IpyTable object by calling its .repr_html() method.

The function multi_table() below accepts a list of tables, calls .repr_html() on each to get their HTML, shoves each one into the cell of a vanilla html table, and renders the resulting blob of html using the HTML() function from IPython.core.display.

You should be able to control the formatting (cell spacing, etc) by modifying the code to add more style properties etc. to the html of the outer table.

Cheers!

from IPython.core.display import HTML

def multi_table(table_list):
    ''' Acceps a list of IpyTable objects and returns a table which contains each IpyTable in a cell
    '''
    return HTML(
        '<table><tr style="background-color:white;">' + 
        ''.join(['<td>' + table._repr_html_() + '</td>' for table in table_list]) +
        '</tr></table>'
    )

I am trying to use this solution but there is no module named add_parent_to_path.

Is this is a custom module that the author implemented? A wide search in google finds no modules by that name.

This is great. I just used it on my dataframes.

Thanks
