New Feature Request: df.style.hide_index() to hide a particular index level

[samcha1996]

Problem description

The present implementation of df.style.hide_index() removes the complete index while rendering html.
It would be better to have an optional input of index level and hide only that index level while rendering.
example df.style.hide_index(level=1)
It provides more option and flexibility to user.

Sorry to post this as an issue, but I didn't find any option for suggesting new features.

Sorry to post this as an issue, but I didn't find any option for suggesting new features.

An issue is fine for feature requests, but we need a simple example what the request is.

In[15]: df
Out[15]: 
                0         1         2         3
bar1 one  0.624257 -1.919695 -0.608513  1.460487
bar2 two -0.609755  0.874438  0.169402 -1.236653
baz1 one  0.694922  0.585993 -0.871894 -0.240299
baz2 two -0.158941 -1.604056 -0.517174  0.551289
foo1 one -1.606837  1.009960 -1.026319  1.377517
foo2 two -1.062810 -0.041552 -0.423098  0.438010
qux1 one  1.082581  0.182992 -1.910832  0.156215
foo2 two -0.255548  0.419918 -0.668972 -0.586820

Now doing df.style.hide_index().set_table_attributes('border=1').render() and opening in browser gives

Open the link and press run.

I want that there should be an option for level in hide_index() like
df.style.hide_index(level=1).set_table_attributes('border=1').render() which gives output like

Open the link and press run.

Thanks. Note that MultiIndex support in .style is pretty limited right now. It doesn't look especially easy to add this to the current implementation.

[samcha1996]

Okay. Just thought that it would be a good to have feature in pandas.style .
Thanks

[TomAugspurger]

Indeed. Let us know if you're interested in working on it.

Yeah of course i would love to work on it. And I would also like to know more about the implementations of pandas too.

[TomAugspurger]

OK, it's all at https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/master/pandas/io/formats/style.py and http://pandas-docs.github.io/pandas-docs-travis/development/contributing.html has the contributing guide. Let us know where you get stuck.
