Missing _repr_latex_ method for latex/pdf conversion in jupyter notebooks #11778

bkasel · 2015-12-06T21:16:17Z

Hello, this is my very first pull request on github. I added latex/pdf conversion capabilities to the dataframe when used in a Jupyter/Ipython notebook. The method simply uses the existing to_latex method of the Dataframe class. I believe teh following Issues or PR have already attempted this, but they seem closed: #11399 and #9821

The repr_latex method looks for newly created options:
- display.latex_escape
- display.latex_longtable
which are passed as arguments to the to_latex method.

a simple test has been added to check if the conversion works. However, if the
implementation of the to_latex method changes, the test function would also have to be updated.

pls add a whatsnew note, otherwise looks pretty good.

I will make the changes this evening. However, I do not know exactly where to add the whatsnew note. Do I simply edit the pandas/doc/source/whatsnew/v0.18.0.txt file?

use double backticks around display.latex.escape (and also around DataFrame._repr_latex_)

bkasel · 2015-12-11T06:51:32Z

I made the changes. I did not add example code for the Jupyter notebook, because the changes are only visible when the notebook is converted to latex.

+        """
+        is_escaped = get_option("display.latex.escape")


these options should instead be in .to_latex (replace the current defaults with None, then use these)
The user can override or use the default options as the defaults.

update the .to_latex doc-string as well

jreback · 2015-12-16T14:00:41Z

@bkasel can you update according to comments

bkasel · 2015-12-16T18:22:21Z

Yes, I will do asap. I don't have a lot of free time right now. (Hopefully the WE will be better)

bkasel · 2015-12-19T10:04:05Z

OK, I think I did the adjustments the way I understood your comments. However there seem to be some conflicts. Is there a way for me to see what the conflicts are?

jorisvandenbossche · 2015-12-19T10:13:17Z

@bkasel rebasing on latest master should let you solve the conflicts:

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
git push -f

bkasel · 2015-12-19T10:17:57Z

I get an error:

git fetch upstream
fatal: 'upstream' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

you should then replace upstream with how you called the pydata/pandas git repository ('upstream' is the canonical name for this). Do git remote -v to see a list of those.

bkasel · 2015-12-19T10:33:16Z

I didn't call it anything. I forked the repo on github and the cloned from the forked repo to my laptop.
git remote -v only shows my repo. (Sorry, complete git newbie). I managed to fetch using

git fetch https://www.github.com/pydata/pandas

but I can't rebase

jorisvandenbossche · 2015-12-19T10:36:44Z

Ah, yes, you have to add this yourself, see also our contributing guide where this is explained: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/contributing.html#forking

git remote add upstream https://github.com/pydata/pandas.git

If you need more help, we also have a dev chat channel: https://gitter.im/pydata/pandas that is sometimes easier for quick help on these things

bkasel · 2015-12-19T11:04:22Z

OK, the rebase was a bit messy, since it is the first one I have done, so I had to fix it. Seems to be OK now. Thanks for your help.

jorisvandenbossche · 2015-12-19T11:09:21Z

@bkasel rebase did indeed work! We also ask to squash the commits to have a cleaner history, see http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/contributing.html#combining-commits

bkasel · 2015-12-19T14:49:24Z

I think I did the rebase and squashing succesfully.

jreback · 2015-12-19T14:52:08Z

squashing should yield 1 commit. you need to push with a -f as well.

Yes, I had some trouble getting the squashing done. Should only be a single commit now.

Nice! Thanks for the help!

@bkasel do you know if there's an easy way to add borders to the output latex table?

bkasel · 2018-06-19T09:41:10Z

@AlJohri I don't have an easy way to do this, since it would require \hline commands in the table which would require a modification of the Dataframe.to_latex method.
