The spreadsheet module is the result of such a diversion. As with more support code in \CONTEXT, this is not a replacement for \quote {the real thing} but just a nice feature for simple cases. The module is loaded with \starttyping \usemodule[spreadsheet] \stoptyping So this is (at least currently) not one of the core functionalities but an add||on. Of course some useful extensions might appear in the future. \stopsection \startsection [title={Spreadsheet tables}] We can use \LUA\ in each cell, because under the hood it is all \LUA. There is some basic parsing applied so that we can use the usual \type {A..Z} variables to access cells. \startbuffer[demo] \startspreadsheettable[test] \startrow \startcell 1.1 \stopcell \startcell 2.1 \stopcell \startcell A[1] + B[1] \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell 2.1 \stopcell \startcell 2.2 \stopcell \startcell A[2] + B[2] \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell A[1] + B[1] \stopcell \startcell A[2] + B[2] \stopcell \startcell A[3] + B[3] \stopcell \stoprow \stopspreadsheettable \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo] The rendering is shown in \in {figure} [spreadsheet:1]. Keep in mind that in \LUA\ all calculations are done using floats, at least in \LUA\ versions with version numbers preceding 5.3. \placefigure [here] [spreadsheet:1] {A simple spreadsheet.} {\getbuffer[demo]} The last cell can also look like this: \starttyping \startcell function() local s = 0 for i=1,2 do for j=1,2 do s = s + dat[i][j] end end return s end \stopcell \stoptyping The content of a cell is either a number or a function. In this example we just loop over the (already set) cells and calculate their sum. The \type {dat} variable accesses the grid of cells. \starttyping \startcell function() local s = 0 for i=1,2 do for j=1,2 do s = s + dat[i][j] end end tmp.total = s end \stopcell \stoptyping In this variant we store the sum in the table \type {tmp} which is local to the current sheet. Another table is \type {fnc} where we can store functions. This table is shared between all sheets. There are two predefined functions: \starttyping sum(columnname,firstrow,lastrow) fmt(specification,n) \stoptyping The \type {sum} function works top||down in columns, and roughly looks like this: \starttyping function sum(currentcolumn,firstrow,lastrow) local r = 0 for i = firstrow, lastrow do r = r + cells[currentcolumn][i] end return r end \stoptyping The last two arguments are optional: \starttyping sum(columnname,lastrow) \stoptyping This is equivalent to: \starttyping function sum(currentcolumn,lastrow) local r = 0 for i = 1, lastrow do r = r + cells[currentcolumn][i] end return r end \stoptyping While: \starttyping sum(columnname) \stoptyping boils down to: \starttyping function sum(currentcolumn) local r = 0 for i = 1, currentrow do r = r + cells[currentcolumn][i] end return r end \stoptyping Empty cells or cells that have no numbers are skipped. Let's now see these functions in action: \startbuffer[demo] \startspreadsheettable[test] \startrow \startcell 1.1 \stopcell \startcell 2.1 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell 2.1 \stopcell \startcell 2.2 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell function() local s = 0 for i=1,2 do for j=1,2 do s = s + dat[i][j] end end context.bold(s) end \stopcell \startcell function() local s = 1 for i=1,2 do for j=1,2 do s = s * dat[i][j] end end context.bold(fmt("@.1f",s)) end \stopcell \stoprow \stopspreadsheettable \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo] The result is shown in \in {figure} [spreadsheet:2]. Watch the \type {fmt} call: we use an at sign instead of a percent to please \TEX. \placefigure [here] [spreadsheet:2] {Cells can be (complex) functions.} {\getbuffer[demo]} Keep in mind that we're typesetting and that doing complex calculations is not our main objective. A typical application of this module is in making bills, for which you can combine it with the correspondence modules. We leave that as an exercise for the reader and stick to a simple example. \startbuffer[demo] \startspreadsheettable[test] \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft,width=8cm] "item one" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright,width=3cm] @ "0.2f EUR" 3.50 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "item two" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] @ "0.2f EUR" 8.45 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "tax 19\percent" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] @ "0.2f EUR" 0.19 * (B[1]+B[2]) \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "total 1" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] @ "0.2f EUR" sum(B,1,3) \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "total 2" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] @ "0.2f EUR" B[1] + B[2] + B[3] \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "total 3" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] @ "0.2f EUR" sum(B) \stopcell \stoprow \stopspreadsheettable \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo] Here (and in \in {figure} [spreadsheet:8]) you see a quick and more readable way to format cell content. The \type {@} in the template is optional, but needed in cases like this: \starttyping @ "(@0.2f) EUR" 8.45 \stoptyping A \type {@} is only prepended when no \type {@} is given in the template. \placefigure [here] [spreadsheet:8] {Cells can be formatted by using \type {@} directives.} {\getbuffer[demo]} In practice this table we can be less specific and let \type {\sum} behave more automatical. That way the coding can be simplified (see \in {figure} [spreadsheet:7]) and also look nicer. \startbuffer[demo] \startspreadsheettable[test][frame=off] \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft,width=8cm] "The first item" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright,width=3cm] @ "0.2f EUR" 3.50 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "The second item" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] @ "0.2f EUR" 8.45 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "The third item" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] @ "0.2f EUR" 5.90 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow[topframe=on] \startcell[align=flushleft] "VAT 19\percent" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] @ "0.2f EUR" 0.19 * sum(B) \stopcell \stoprow \startrow[topframe=on] \startcell[align=flushleft] "\bf Grand total" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] @ "0.2f EUR" sum(B) \stopcell \stoprow \stopspreadsheettable \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo] \placefigure [here] [spreadsheet:7] {The \type {sum} function accumulates stepwise.} {\getbuffer[demo]} There are a few more special start characters. This is demonstrated in \in {figure} [spreadsheet:9]. An \type {=} character is ignored. \footnote {Taco suggested to support this because some spreadsheet programs use that character to flush a value.} When we start with an \type {!}, the content is not typeset. Strings can be surrounded by single or double quotes and are not really processed. \startbuffer[demo] \startspreadsheettable[test][offset=1ex] \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "first" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushleft] '\type{@ "[@i]" 1}' \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright,width=3cm] @ "[@i]" 1 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "second" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushleft] '\type{= 2}' \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] = 2 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "third" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushleft] '\type{! 3}' \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] ! 3 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "fourth" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushleft] '\type{4}' \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] 4 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "\bf total one" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushleft] '\type{sum(C)}' \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] sum(C) \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell[align=flushleft] "\bf total two" \stopcell \startcell[align=flushleft] '\type{= sum(C)}' \stopcell \startcell[align=flushright] = sum(C) \stopcell \stoprow \stopspreadsheettable \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo] The \type {sum} function is clever enough not to include itself in the summation. Only preceding cells are taken into account, given that they represent a number. \placefigure [here] [spreadsheet:9] {Cells can be hidden by \type {!} and can contain strings only.} {\getbuffer[demo]} \stopsection \startsection [title={Normal tables}] In the previous examples we used \TEX\ commands for structuring the sheet but the content of cells is \LUA\ code. It is also possible to stick to a regular table and use specific commands to set and get cell data. \startbuffer[demo] \bTABLE[align=middle] \bTR \bTD \getspr{100} \eTD \bTD test \setspr{30} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \getspr{20} \eTD \bTD \getspr{4+3} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \getspr{A[1] + A[2]} \eTD \bTD \getspr{B1 + B2} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nx=2] \bf \getspr{(A[3] + B[3]) /100} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nx=2] \bf \getspr{fmt("@0.3f",(A[3] + B[3]) /100)} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nx=2] \bf \getspr{fmt("@0.3f",(sum(A,1,2)) / 10)} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo] The method to use depends on the complexity of the table. If there is more text than data then this method is probably more comfortable. \placefigure [here] [spreadsheet:3] {A sheet can be filled and accessed from regular tables.} {\getbuffer[demo]} % \setupspreadsheet[mysheet] % % \startspreadsheet[mysheet] % % \bTABLE[align=middle] % \bTR % \bTD \getspr{100} \eTD \bTD test \setspr{30} \eTD % \eTR % \bTR % \bTD \getspr{20} \eTD \bTD \getspr{4+3.5} \eTD % \eTR % \bTR % \bTD \getspr{A[1] + A[2]} \eTD % \bTD \getspr{B[1] + B[2]} \eTD % \eTR % \bTR % \bTD[nx=2] \bf \getspr{A[3] + B[3]} \eTD % \eTR % \eTABLE % % \stopspreadsheet \stopsection \startsection[title={A few settings}] It's possible to influence the rendering. The following example demonstrates this. We don't use any formatting directives. \startbuffer[demo] \startspreadsheettable[test] \startrow \startcell 123456.78 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell 1234567.89 \stopcell \stoprow \startrow \startcell A[1] + A[2] \stopcell \stoprow \stopspreadsheettable \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo] \placefigure [here] [spreadsheet:4] {Formatting (large) numbers.} {\getbuffer[demo]} \in {Figure} [spreadsheet:4] demonstrates how this gets rendered by default. However, often you want numbers to be split in parts separated by periods and commas. This can be done as follows: \startbuffer[setup] \definehighlight[BoldAndRed] [style=bold,color=darkred] \definehighlight[BoldAndGreen][style=bold,color=darkgreen] \setupspreadsheet [test] [period={\BoldAndRed{.}}, comma={\BoldAndGreen{,}}, split=yes] \stopbuffer \typebuffer[setup] \getbuffer[setup] \placefigure [here] [spreadsheet:5] {Formatting (large) numbers with style and color.} {\getbuffer[setup,demo]} \stopsection \startsection[title={The \LUA\ end}] You can also use spreadsheets from within \LUA. The following example is rather straightforward: \startbuffer[demo-a] \startluacode context.startspreadsheettable { "test" } context.startrow() context.startcell() context("123456.78") context.stopcell() context.stoprow() context.startrow() context.startcell() context("1234567.89") context.stopcell() context.stoprow() context.startrow() context.startcell() context("A[1] + A[2]") context.stopcell() context.stoprow() context.stopspreadsheettable() \stopluacode \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo-a] However, even more \LUA|-|ish is the next variant: \startbuffer[demo-b] \startluacode local set = moduledata.spreadsheets.set local get = moduledata.spreadsheets.get moduledata.spreadsheets.start("test") set("test",1,1,"123456.78") set("test",2,1,"1234567.89") set("test",3,1,"A[1] + A[2]") moduledata.spreadsheets.stop() context.bTABLE() context.bTR() context.bTD() context(get("test",1,1)) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.bTR() context.bTD() context(get("test",2,1)) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.bTR() context.bTD() context(get("test",3,1)) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.eTABLE() \stopluacode \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo-b] Of course the second variant does not make much sense as we can do this way more efficient by not using a spreadsheet at all: \startbuffer[demo-c] \startluacode local A1, A2 = 123456.78, 1234567.89 context.bTABLE() context.bTR() context.bTD() context(A1) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.bTR() context.bTD() context(A2) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.bTR() context.bTD() context(A1+A2) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.eTABLE() \stopluacode \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo-c] You can of course use format explicitly. Here we use the normal percent directives because we're in \LUA, and not in \TEX, where percentage signs are a bit of an issue. \startbuffer[demo-d] \startluacode local A1, A2 = 123456.78, 1234567.89 local options = { align = "flushright" } context.bTABLE() context.bTR() context.bTD(options) context("%0.2f",A1) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.bTR() context.bTD(options) context("%0.2f",A2) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.bTR() context.bTD(options) context("%0.2f",A1+A2) context.eTD() context.eTR() context.eTABLE() \stopluacode \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo-d] As expected and shown in \in {figure} [spreadsheet:6], only the first and last variant gets the numbers typeset nicely. \placefigure [here] [spreadsheet:6] {Spreadsheets purely done as \CONTEXT\ \LUA\ Document.} {\startcombination[4*1] {\getbuffer[demo-a]} {} {\getbuffer[demo-b]} {} {\getbuffer[demo-c]} {} {\getbuffer[demo-d]} {} \stopcombination} \stopsection \startsection[title={Helper macros}] There are two helper macros that you can use to see what is stored in a spreadsheet: \starttyping \inspectspreadsheet[test] \showspreadsheet [test] \stoptyping The first command reports the content of \type {test} to the console, and the second one typesets it in the running text: \blank \showspreadsheet[test] \blank Another helper function is \type {\doifelsespreadsheetcell}, You can use this one to check if a cell is set. \startbuffer[demo] (1,1): \doifelsespreadsheetcell[test]{1}{1}{set}{unset} (2,2): \doifelsespreadsheetcell[test]{2}{2}{set}{unset} (9,9): \doifelsespreadsheetcell[test]{9}{9}{set}{unset} \stopbuffer \typebuffer[demo] This gives: \startlines \getbuffer[demo] \stoplines There is not much more to say about this module, apart from that it is a nice example of a \TEX\ and \LUA\ mix. Maybe some more (basic) functionality will be added in the future but it all depends on usage. \stopsection \startsubject[title={Colofon}] \starttabulate[|B|p|] \NC author \NC \documentvariable{author}, \documentvariable{affiliation}, \documentvariable{location} \NC \NR \NC version \NC \currentdate \NC \NR \NC website \NC \documentvariable{website} \endash\ \documentvariable{support} \NC \NR \NC copyright \NC \symbol[cc][cc-by-sa] \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stopsubject \stopdocument
