About

The C++ template is used to print data in a formatted table. It calculates the proper indentations once all the fields are known. Here is an example code snippet to demonstrate its usage:

CPrettyTable<int, const char*, double> tbl("num", "name", "score");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
  tbl.Add(i + 1, "FooBar", 2.5 * (i + 1));
}
tbl.SetCaption("FooBar");
tbl.Dump(std::cerr);

The code prints the following line to the standard error stream.

+-----+[ FooBar ]------+
| num | name   | score |
+-----+--------+-------+
|   1 | FooBar |   2.5 |
|   2 | FooBar |     5 |
|   3 | FooBar |   7.5 |
|   4 | FooBar |    10 |
|   5 | FooBar |  12.5 |
+-----+--------+-------+
