Free table layouts software for linux

Formitable is a PHP class used to ease the creation of submit-ready HTML forms from MySQL database tables.
Formitable project analyzes the fields of a given table and outputs the best input type for each (e.g. enum type becomes radio buttons or select, set type becomes checkboxes or multiselect). Data is automatically inserted into the table upon form submission.
Main features:
- Output a complete form in a few lines of code
- Validate data via regular expressions and provide custom feedback
- Support for normalized data/lookup tables
- Easily retrieve and update existing records
- Outputs attributes such as MAXLENGTH to reflect your table design
- Customize all aspects of output, integrate forms into your layout
- Full CSS styling
- Accessibility support such as labels, fieldsets, legends and more
Enhancements:
- Forms can now be printed using a template with printFromTemplate.
- Custom template delimiters can be set using setTemplateDelimiters.
- Bugs were fixed.

PDF::Table is a utility class for building table layouts in a PDF::API2 object.

SYNOPSIS

use PDF::API2;
use PDF::Table;

my $pdftable = new PDF::Table;
my $pdf = new PDF::API2(-file => "table_of_lorem.pdf");
my $page = $pdf->page;

# some data to layout
my $some_data =[
["1 Lorem ipsum dolor",
"Donec odio neque, faucibus vel",
"consequat quis, tincidunt vel, felis."],
["Nulla euismod sem eget neque.",
"Donec odio neque",
"Sed eu velit."],
... and so on
];

# build the table layout
$pdftable->table(
# required params
$pdf,
$page,
$some_data,
x => $left_edge_of_table,
w => 570,
start_y => 500,
next_y => 700,
start_h => 300,
next_h => 500,
# some optional params
padding => 5,
padding_right => 10,
background_color_odd => "gray",
background_color_even => "lightblue", #cell background color for even rows
);

# do other stuff with $pdf
...

This class is a utility for use with the PDF::API2 module from CPAN. It can be used to display text data in a table layout within the PDF. The text data must be in a 2d array (such as returned by a DBI statement handle fetchall_arrayref() call). The PDF::Table will automatically add as many new pages as necessary to display all of the data.

Various layout properties, such as font, font size, and cell padding and background color can be specified for each column and/or for even/odd rows. Also a (non)repeated header row with different layout properties can be specified.
See the METHODS section for complete documentation of every parameter.

MySQL table patcher is a patch that reads table creation file (tables.sql) and compares it to what mysqldump gives. It creates SQL clauses to update the database to match the creation file.

PyHtmlTable is a class for Python CGIs to generate HTML tables on the fly. The reason that i made this script is I couldnt find something like Table.pm or Table.php
Main features:
- Allows setting of individual row and cell attributes via arbitrary dictionaries
- Allows spanning of rows and columns
- Autogrows table if cells set outside initial Range.
- Allows dynamic insertion of new rows and columns anywhere in the table
- Allows bulk population of table data via arrays to arbitrary locations in the table.
- Provides default cell attributes for tablewide uniformity and the ability to override these on a cell by cell basis.
- NOTE: Row indexes start at 0 like God and Kernighan demand!
- Influenced heavily by Table.pm and Table.php

Generic Hash Table library is a hash table implementation in C for storing arbitrary types of data. Generic Hash Table library is meant to be small, easily extensible (in terms of hash functions etc), and easy to understand codewise.
Enhancements:
- config.guess and config.sub were updated to work with current systems.
- The API was extended with two new functions to allow returning the keysize on iteration.
