How to force table to rotate vertically

[summera]

Maybe I'm missing something here, but when I try to render a table that is larger than the terminal window, tty-table throws Table's width is too small to contain the content (min width 3999, currently set 3999). When I mess with resize and width options, the table still does not want to rotate.

If I try

table.render width: 4000, resize: true

it throws NoMethodError: undefined method 'rindex' for nil:NilClass.

How do I get the table to flip vertically if it is too large? Also, can I have it so that the content overflows horizontally?

Thanks for using the library!

It has some rough edges still, auto resizing is one of them. However, you should be able to flip the orientation:

table = TTY::Table.new ..... orientation: :vertical

@peter-murach thanks for quick response

Just tried as you said, but something odd is happening

>> x = []
=> []
>> 2000.times{ |i| x <<i }
=> 2000
>> require 'tty-table'
=> true
>> table = TTY::Table.new [x, x], orientation: :vertical
=> #<TTY::Table header=nil rows=[#<TTY::Table::Row fields=["1", 0]>, #<TTY::Table::Row fields=["2", 1]>, #<TTY::Table::Row fields=["3", 2]>, #<TTY::Table::Row fields=["1", 0]>, #<TTY::Table::Row fields=["2", 1]>, #<TTY::Table::Row fields=["3", 2]>] orientation=#<TTY::Table::Orientation::Vertical:0x007fd439cd1530 @name=:vertical> original_rows=2 original_columns=2000>
>> puts table
1 0
2 1
3 2
1 0
2 1
3 2
=> nil

I have a similar issue. The vertical rotate is nice. But if my terminal is too small and resize is set to true, I get the NoMethodError: undefined method 'rindex' for nil:NilClass in truncate. I would be in favor of either throw an something that force to turn of resize true, or send a message to the user the table is to big for the terminal and need to be expanded or switch the resize to false to have vertical row..

Full backtrace for the resize: true bug when the terminal width is too small for a column:
