GT.cols_unhide()

Unhide one or more columns.

Usage

Source

GT.cols_unhide(columns)

The cols_unhide() method allows us to unhide one or more columns from appearing in the final output table. This may be important in cases where the user obtains a GT instance with hidden columns and there is motivation to reveal one or more of those.

Parameters

columns: SelectExpr

The columns to unhide in the output display table. Can either be a single column name or a series of column names provided in a list.

Returns

GT

The GT object is returned. This is the same object that the method is called on so that we can facilitate method chaining.

Examples

For this example, we’ll use a portion of the countrypops dataset to create a simple table. We’ll hide the year column using cols_hide() and then unhide it with cols_unhide(), ensuring that the year column remains visible in the table.

from great_tables import GT
from great_tables.data import countrypops

countrypops_mini = countrypops.loc[countrypops["country_name"] == "Benin"][
    ["country_name", "year", "population"]
].tail(5)

GT(countrypops_mini).cols_hide(columns="year").cols_unhide(columns="year")
