loc.row_groups

loc.row_groups(rows=None)

Target row groups.

With loc.row_groups() we can target the cells containing the row group labels, which span across the table body. 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.

Parameters

rows : RowSelectExpr = None

The row groups to target. Can either be a single group name or a series of group names provided in a list. If no groups are specified, all are targeted.

Returns

: LocRowGroups

A LocRowGroups object, which is used for a locations= argument if specifying the table’s row groups.

Examples

Let’s use a subset of the gtcars dataset in a new table. We will style all of the cells comprising the row group labels by using locations=loc.row_groups() within tab_style().

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

(
    GT(
        gtcars[["mfr", "model", "hp", "trq", "msrp"]].head(5),
        rowname_col="model",
        groupname_col="mfr"
    )
    .tab_stubhead(label="car")
    .tab_style(
        style=[
            style.text(color="crimson", weight="bold"),
            style.fill(color="lightgray")
        ],
        locations=loc.row_groups()
    )
    .fmt_integer(columns=["hp", "trq"])
    .fmt_currency(columns="msrp", decimals=0)
)
