Takes a Python or MATLAB matrix and outputs a LaTeX table, a LaTeX matrix, or a complete LaTeX document (and optionally calls latex for compilation).
A number of configuration options are available.
The default table output is geared towards the standard recommended by IEEE, and uses the latex package booktabs.
Check out the documentation for more example output and usage.
From source:
pip install git+https://github.com/TheChymera/matrix2latex.gitNote that on some systems you may have to replace pip by pip3 to use Python 3 for the installation.
Furthermore, if you only wish to install the package for the current user, you should supply the --user flag to the above command.
The following python code:
from matrix2latex import matrix2latex
m = [[1, 1], [2, 4], [3, 9]] # python nested list
t = matrix2latex(m)
print(t)or equivalent matlab code:
m = [1, 1; 2, 4; 3, 9];
filename = '' % do not write to file
t = matrix2latex(m, filename)produces
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\toprule
$1$ & $1$\\
$2$ & $4$\\
$3$ & $9$\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Various options are available to change the latex environment (e.g. to a matrix) or to provide header, footer, caption, label, format and/or alignment. Please see the documentation for details.
Inspired by the work of [email protected] who has written a similar package only for matlab http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/4894-matrix2latex
This project was moved from https://code.google.com/p/matrix2latex/ after code.google.com was discontinued.
Feel free to contribute to any of the following improvements or open an issue if you want something done.
- Clean up the code (object oriented?)
- Make the matlab version identical to the python version
- Add support for more advanced tables. Highlights and multirow.
- Command line interface (say, read in a csv, take arguments on the command line)
- Additional languages (R/perl/julia?)
