I'm interested in learning about some nice-looking table samples. Colors can make a huge difference, and just providing some color to headers, background, or borders can dramatically change presentation. Any samples you're proud to share?
(BTW here's a sample I like, but unfortunately, not TeX…)
EDIT:
After the OP stressed again that he want to use existing colormap from pgfplots, I think it might be better for him to use \pgfplotstabletypeset with a bit of preprocessing of csv.
However, if you're like me who is more comfortable with tikz/pgf and python,
then the answer below should provide more flexibility. The one thing I'm not satisfied with this answer is that the table will not auto-adjust if group label is too long.
in.csv:
group,item,special,U,V,W,X,Y,Z
a,a1,0,0.2,,0.2,,,
a,a2,0,,0.1,,,0.4,1
a,a3,0,,0.5,,,,
a,a4*,1,0.1,,0.8,,,
a,a5*,1,,,,,0.5,0.5
a,a6,0,,,,0.3,,
b,b1,0,,0.1,,,,
b,b2,0,0.6,,,0.4,,
b,b3*,1,,,0.4,,,
c,c1*,1,,,,,,0.1
c,c2*,1,,0.2,,,0.3,0.2
c,c3,0,,,0.7,,,
c,c4,0,,0.6,,0.3,,
c,c5,0,,,,,,0.7
main.py:
import csv
# read csv into matrix
with open('in.csv') as csvf:
f = csv.reader(csvf)
a = [r for r in f]
# separate the header
header = a[0]
a = a[1:]
# separate by group
def sep_group(a):
cur_group = None
groups = []
for r in a:
# new group?
if cur_group != r[0]:
groups.append([r])
cur_group = r[0]
else:
groups[-1].append(r)
return groups
a = sep_group(a)
# calculating shade based on value in csv
def shade(x):
return 0 if x == '' else str(int(float(x)*100))
# output while traversing data
with open('out.tex','w') as f:
f.write('\\matrix [nodes={cell}] {\n')
for gi,g in enumerate(a):
for ri,r in enumerate(g):
# empty node to place group label upon later
f.write('\\node{}{} {{}}; &\n'.format(
' [alias=g{}begin]'.format(gi) if ri == 0 else '',
' [alias=g{}end]'.format(gi) if ri == len(g)-1 else ''))
# item label
f.write('\\node [group{}{}/item{},minimum width=3em] {{{}}}; &\n'.format(gi%2,'/special' if r[2] == '1' else '',ri%2,r[1]))
# cells in the row
f.write(' &\n'.join(
'\\node [fill={}!{}] {{}};'.format('Emerald' if r[2]=='1' else 'black',shade(c))
for c in r[3:]))
f.write(' \\\\\n')
# footer
f.write('&')
for ci in range(len(g[0])-3):
f.write('&\n\\node [footer{},rotate=90] {{{}}}; '.format(ci%2,chr(ci+ord('U'))))
f.write('\\\\\n')
# end matrix
f.write('};\n')
# now overlay the group labels
for gi,g in enumerate(a):
f.write('\\node (last) [inner sep=0,group{},fit=(g{}begin) (g{}end)] {{}};\n'.format(gi%2,gi,gi))
f.write('\\node [rotate=90,anchor=mid] at (last) {{{}}};\n'.format(g[0][0]))
running main.py produces out.tex:
\matrix [nodes={cell}] {
\node [alias=g0begin] {}; &
\node [group0/item0,minimum width=3em] {a1}; &
\node [fill=black!20] {}; &
\node [fill=black!0] {}; &
\node [fill=black!20] {}; &
\node [fill=black!0] {}; &
\node [fill=black!0] {}; &
\node [fill=black!0] {}; \\
\node {}; &
\node [group0/item1,minimum width=3em] {a2}; &
\node [fill=black!0] {}; &
...
out.tex is used in main.tex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\usetikzlibrary{fit}
\PreviewEnvironment{tikzpicture}
\setlength\PreviewBorder{5pt}
\begin{document}
\tikzset{
cell/.style={outer sep=0pt, minimum size=2em},
group0/.style={fill=blue!30},
group0/.cd,
item0/.style={fill=blue!30},
item1/.style={fill=blue!60},
special/.cd,
item0/.style={fill=Emerald!30},
item1/.style={fill=Emerald!60},
%
/tikz/.cd,
group1/.style={fill=Dandelion!30},
group1/.cd,
item0/.style={fill=Dandelion!30},
item1/.style={fill=Dandelion!60},
special/.cd,
item0/.style={fill=LimeGreen!30},
item1/.style={fill=LimeGreen!30},
%
/tikz/.cd,
footer0/.style={fill=YellowGreen!60},
footer1/.style={fill=RedOrange!60},
}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\input{out.tex}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
result:
This shows the matrix being painted in shades according to the values in CSV file. I try to use as similar color to OP as possible.
Like this?
Edit:
From given MWE I assumed, that the table had to have width of \textwidth and columns had to be in ratio 4:1:2. This can be achieved on two ways:
superimpose column type p{<width>} to S column type. This can be done by use of \multicolumn{1}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{<width>}{...} for column heaser. <width> is calculated from \textwidth considering width ratio of columns (first more complicated solution) with
\newlength\colwidth <-- new length used for determining column widths
\setlength\colwidth{\dimexpr0.077\linewidth-\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax} <-- calculation of base column width
Base width is in p{<width>} multiplied according to desired ratio of columns widths
determine S columns width with option `table-column-width= where the base column width is calculated on the same way as above (second example)
First solution:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\RequirePackage{mathbbol}
\newcommand{\hmmax}{0}
\newcommand{\bmmax}{2}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage[allowlitunits]{siunitx}

\usepackage{booktabs,tabu}
\usepackage{diagbox}

%tight-spacing=true,
round-mode=places,
round-precision=2]}
\newlength\colwidth% added
\setlength\colwidth{\dimexpr0.077\linewidth-\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax}% added
\newcommand\mcp[2]{\multicolumn{1}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1\colwidth}}{#2}}% added
\begin{document}
\noindent

\end{document}
Second solution, where had not be used tabu macro \rowfont[c]\bfseries due to incompatibility with S type headers and therefore columns headers are not in bold face:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\RequirePackage{mathbbol}
\newcommand{\hmmax}{0}
\newcommand{\bmmax}{2}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage[allowlitunits]{siunitx}

\usepackage{booktabs,tabu}
\usepackage{diagbox}
\newlength\colwidth% added
\setlength\colwidth{\dimexpr0.077\linewidth-\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax}% added
\begin{document}
\noindent
\begin{tabu} to \textwidth {X % changed
S[table-column-width=\colwidth,% added
table-format=1.1]% added
*{4}{S[table-column-width=2\colwidth,% added
table-format=1.2,% added
round-mode=places,
round-precision=2]}
}
\toprule
%\rowfont[c]\bfseries
\diagbox[width=4\colwidth]{method}{missing}
& \SI{0}{\%} & \SI{5}{\%} & \SI{10}{\%} & \SI{20}{\%} & \SI{50}{\%} \\
\midrule
KNN & 0.0 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 \\
MICE & 0.0 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 \\
SimpleFill & 0.0 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 \\
SoftImpute & 0.0 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 & 0.123456 \\

There seems to be a general consensus that
booktabsis the way to go, if you want to have a beautifully typeset table. The result is really elegant, but to some it might appear somewhat... Spartan.Here are a few examples I gathered from the web:
and last but not least, some contributions from our very own site:
And just for completeness' sake, there is the
tabupackage. I only list it because I subscribe to the opinion that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Keep in mind, though, that I neither like the results in the documentation (and the documentation itself is IMHO an eye-sore) nor do I recommend using it - it's been reported to be buggy.(EDIT: A little pun: Using
tabuis taboo.:))Finally, a little example (from a homework on Fourier series and transformation):
