## GT.opt_row_striping()


Option to add or remove row striping.


Usage

``` python
GT.opt_row_striping(row_striping=True)
```


By default, a table does not have row striping enabled. However, this method allows us to easily enable or disable striped rows in the table body. It's a convenient shortcut for `tab_options(row_striping_include_table_body=<True|False>)`.


## Parameters


`row_striping: bool = ``True`  
A boolean that indicates whether row striping should be added or removed. Defaults to `True`.


## 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

Using only a few columns from the [exibble](data.exibble.md#great_tables.data.exibble) dataset, let's create a table with a number of components added. Following that, we'll add row striping to every second row with the [opt_row_striping()](GT.opt_row_striping.md#great_tables.GT.opt_row_striping) method.


``` python
from great_tables import GT, exibble, md

(
    GT(
        exibble[["num", "char", "currency", "row", "group"]],
        rowname_col="row",
        groupname_col="group"
    )
    .tab_header(
        title=md("Data listing from **exibble**"),
        subtitle=md("`exibble` is a **Great Tables** dataset.")
    )
    .fmt_number(columns="num")
    .fmt_currency(columns="currency")
    .tab_source_note(source_note="This is only a subset of the dataset.")
    .opt_row_striping()
)
```
