Making Tables in Diadem 8.1 or 9.1

[shefalika]

I am primarily using 8.1 - i havent made the switch to 9.1 yet (but i do have access to it).

In any case, i am trying to make a table in Diadem and i must say it does not look like i can do it quickly and make it look appealing. What i did was insert a 2-D table and then add 20 rows to its properties. i do not have the capability to make the line of a particular row darker than others unless i add a frame on top of it and then set the property of that line more than the minimum. Is there a better way of doing that?

Also, the contents of the table are 5 channels with there max value formatted to its second decimal place. Is there a way to make this happen fast rather than spending hours trying to align the contents of the table in one line and also assigning variables to these cells on the LPD and then passing them a value in the script?

I have 6 tables like that - that need to happen by the end of the day today - so if there is a better way out there to speed up my process PLEASE share the secret with me. (If this can be achieved in Diadem 9.1 i will make the switch.)

Thanks Shefalika

Hi shefalika,

I may not be answering all your questions in one shot, but here's a tip I think you'll enjoy.  In addition to being able to show channel values and variable values as the columns/rows in a table, you also have the ability to define DIAdem expressions, using the internal DIAdem variables "D2TabRow" and "D2TabCol" to index through the expression depending on where you are in the 2D table.

Try this (8.1) example and see if that helps,
