matplotlib.pyplot.table#

matplotlib.pyplot.table(cellText=None, cellColours=None, cellLoc='right', colWidths=None, rowLabels=None, rowColours=None, rowLoc='left', colLabels=None, colColours=None, colLoc='center', loc='bottom', bbox=None, edges='closed', **kwargs)[source]#

Add a table to an Axes.

At least one of cellText or cellColours must be specified. These parameters must be 2D lists, in which the outer lists define the rows and the inner list define the column values per row. Each row must have the same number of elements.

The table can optionally have row and column headers, which are configured using rowLabels, rowColours, rowLoc and colLabels, colColours, colLoc respectively.

For finer grained control over tables, use the Table class and add it to the axes with Axes.add_table.

Parameters:
cellText2D list of str, optional

The texts to place into the table cells.

Note: Line breaks in the strings are currently not accounted for and will result in the text exceeding the cell boundaries.

cellColours2D list of colors, optional

The background colors of the cells.

cellLoc{'left', 'center', 'right'}, default: 'right'

The alignment of the text within the cells.

colWidthslist of float, optional

The column widths in units of the axes. If not given, all columns will have a width of 1 / ncols.

rowLabelslist of str, optional

The text of the row header cells.

rowColourslist of colors, optional

The colors of the row header cells.

rowLoc{'left', 'center', 'right'}, default: 'left'

The text alignment of the row header cells.

colLabelslist of str, optional

The text of the column header cells.

colColourslist of colors, optional

The colors of the column header cells.

colLoc{'left', 'center', 'right'}, default: 'left'

The text alignment of the column header cells.

locstr, optional

The position of the cell with respect to ax. This must be one of the codes.

bboxBbox or [xmin, ymin, width, height], optional

A bounding box to draw the table into. If this is not None, this overrides loc.

edgessubstring of 'BRTL' or {'open', 'closed', 'horizontal', 'vertical'}

The cell edges to be drawn with a line. See also visible_edges.

Returns:
Table

The created table.
