loc.header

loc.header()

Target the table header (title and subtitle).

With loc.header(), we can target the table header which contains the title and the subtitle. This is useful for applying custom styling with the tab_style() method. That method has a locations= argument and this class should be used there to perform the targeting.

Returns

: LocHeader

A LocHeader object, which is used for a locations= argument if specifying the title of the table.

Examples

Let’s use a subset of the gtcars dataset in a new table. We will style the entire table header (the ‘title’ and ‘subtitle’ parts. This can be done by using locations=loc.header() within tab_style().

from great_tables import GT, style, loc
from great_tables.data import gtcars

(
    GT(gtcars[["mfr", "model", "msrp"]].head(5))
    .tab_header(
        title="Select Cars from the gtcars Dataset",
        subtitle="Only the first five cars are displayed"
    )
    .tab_style(
        style=style.fill(color="lightblue"),
        locations=loc.header()
    )
    .fmt_currency(columns="msrp", decimals=0)
)
