rowdistance in xtables

rowdistance in xtables

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following xtable:

    \starttext
    \startxtable[frame=off]
        \startxtablehead[foregroundstyle=\bf, topframe=on,
        bottomframe=on]
             \startxrow
                 \startxcell
                    one
                 \stopxcell
             \stopxrow
        \stopxtablehead
        \startxtablebody[rowdistance=20em]
             \startxrow
                 \startxcell
                    two
                 \stopxcell
             \stopxrow
        \stopxtablebody
    \stopxtable
    \stoptext

Well, I suspect that rowdistance isn’t working as expected.

If that helps (and I may be wrong), lines 280-283 from tabl-xtb.mkiv read:

columndistance      \dimexpr\xtableparameter\c!columndistance\relax
leftmargindistance  \dimexpr\xtableparameter\c!leftmargindistance\relax
rightmargindistance \dimexpr\xtableparameter\c!rightmargindistance\relax
rowdistance         \ht\scratchbox

Sorry, but I’m guess that rowdistance doesn’t honor settings.rowdistance
from tabl-xtb.lua.

Could anyone confirm the bug or tell me what I miss?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

You have to use the spaceinbetween key.

\starttext

\startxtable[spaceinbetween=2em]
     \startxrow
         \startxcell
             One
         \stopxcell
     \stopxrow
     \startxrow
         \startxcell
             Two
         \stopxcell
     \stopxrow
     \startxrow
         \startxcell
             Three
         \stopxcell
     \stopxrow
\stopxtable

\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

I’m afraid that spaceinbetween isn’t what I need, It adds extra space to
each row, when I only need it after the table header (of before the
table body, if you prefer).

    \starttext
    \startxtable[frame=off, spaceinbetween=2em]
        \startxtablehead[foregroundstyle=\bf, topframe=on,
        bottomframe=on]
             \startxrow
                 \startxcell
                    one
                 \stopxcell
             \stopxrow
        \stopxtablehead
        \startxtablebody
             \startxrow
                 \startxcell
                    two
                 \stopxcell
             \stopxrow
             \startxrow
                 \startxcell
                    three
                 \stopxcell
             \stopxrow
        \stopxtablebody
    \stopxtable
    \stoptext

I thought rowdistance may be the option, but it should be another one.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

You can increase the height of the cells in the header.

\starttext

\startxtable%[frame=off]
     \startxtablehead
         \startxrow[boffset=1ex]
             \startxcell
                 Head
             \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
     \stopxtablehead
     \startxtablebody
         \startxrow
             \startxcell
                 One
             \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
         \startxrow
             \startxcell
                 Two
             \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
     \stopxtablebody
\stopxtable

\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

This is exactly what I needed.

But sorry for asking again, I don’t know why rowdistance doesn’t work
when columndistance works:

    \starttext
    \startxtable[columndistance=5em, rowdistance=5ex]
    \dorecurse{10}{\startxrow\dorecurse{6}{%
                    \startxcell cell\stopxcell}\stopxrow}
    \stopxtable
    \stoptext

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

ConTeXt uses sometimes different names for the keys in TeX and the variables
in Lua, in this case the value from the spaceinbetwen key from TeX is passed
to the rowdistance variable in Lua.
