pgfplotstable
I'm looking for a way to change row height or width with pgfplotstables.
Even in the pgfplotstables manual I cant find anything about this matter.
I found a topic about this here but the only answer was using \resizebox. I dont like this since it changes proportions of the font used with the cells.
I'm looking for a solution because every lines is very close one to another, therefore the table becomes not easly readable.
Starting with version 1.6 of PGFPlots (I think), a new key output empty row has become available that suppresses printing of a row. This can be used in your style:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\pgfplotstabletypeset[
col sep=&, header=false,
every head row/.style={
output empty row,
before row={%
\toprule
Facteurs & \multicolumn{5}{c}{Niveaux}\\
}
},
every last row/.style={
after row=\bottomrule
},
display columns/0/.style={string type}
]
{%
\pgfutilensuremath{\chi} & 8 & 11 & 14 & &
5 & 8 & 11 & 14 & 45 & 2.456
q & 8 & 11 & 14 & & 3
x & 8 & 11 & 14 & 5612345 & 4
b & 8 & 11 & 14 & & 5
}
\end{document}
If you're using an earlier version and can't / don't want to update, here's a slightly brutish workaround. You can add the code
\makeatletter
\pgfplotsset{
/pgfplots/table/omit header/.style={%
/pgfplots/table/typeset cell/.append code={%
\ifnum\c@pgfplotstable@rowindex=-1
\pgfkeyslet{/pgfplots/table/@cell content}\pgfutil@empty%
\fi
}
}
}
\makeatother
in your preamble, which makes a style omit header row available. If you use that key in \pgfplotstable, the output routine for each table cell will be amended with a check whether we're in row number -1 (the header row), and if we are, no output is generated.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\makeatletter
\pgfplotsset{
/pgfplots/table/omit header/.style={%
/pgfplots/table/typeset cell/.append code={%
\ifnum\c@pgfplotstable@rowindex=-1
\pgfkeyslet{/pgfplots/table/@cell content}\pgfutil@empty%
\fi
}
}
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\pgfplotstabletypeset[
col sep=&,
header=false,
every head row/.style={
before row={%
\toprule
Facteurs & \multicolumn{5}{c}{Niveaux}\\
}
},
every last row/.style={
after row=\bottomrule
},
display columns/0/.style={string type},
omit header
]
{%
\pgfutilensuremath{\chi} & 8 & 11 & 14 & &
5 & 8 & 11 & 14 & 45 & 2.456
q & 8 & 11 & 14 & & 3
x & 8 & 11 & 14 & 5612345 & 4
b & 8 & 11 & 14 & & 5
}
\end{document}
Ahhh I found it, pretty simple actually: I start the tabe with the attribute 'columns/a/.style={reset styles,string type}' :
\pgfplotstabletypeset[color cells, columns/a/.style={reset styles,string type}]
Where 'a' is the name of my first column !
Hope this helps someone else ;)

Since there is no answer to this topic, I'll answer with what I came up with.
For the row height : The solution of @JohnKormylo works perfectly for what I need :
\def\arraystretch{size}, "size" being the integer parameter.For the column width : I use the same solution I used for the basics tabular and it works great :
Hope it will help some beginners like me.
