Hi Mathgroup,
I am interested in using GridBoxes to create a table that has row
headings and column headings . The headings should not have the same
style or background as the table. Here is a simple example of what I
am trying to do. First , I create my table
box1 = StyleBox[ GridBox[{{a, b, d, e}, {f, g, h, i}, {j, k, l , m}},
RowLines -> True, ColumnLines -> True, GridFrame -> True],
Background -> RGBColor[1, 1, 0]];
Here are the column headings:
columnbox = StyleBox[ GridBox[{{1, 2, 3, 4}}, RowLines -> False,
ColumnLines -> False, GridFrame -> False], Background ->
RGBColor[1, 1, 1]];
Now if I combine these two sets of Gridboxes I get the desired result
DisplayForm[GridBox[{{columnbox}, {box1}}]]
The difficulty I have is adding the row headings
rowbox = StyleBox[ GridBox[Transpose[{{" ",1, 2, 3}}], RowLines ->
False, ColumnLines -> False,GridFrame -> False], Background ->
RGBColor[1, 1, 1]];
DisplayForm[GridBox[{{rowbox},{GridBox[{{columnbox}, {box1}}]}}]]
which does not give the desired result. I have tried several
combinations but have had no luck. I suspect this is straightforward
to do but it escapes me.
Thanks in advance for helping me with my query.
Regards,
Brian
