styleframe

The styleframe module contains a single class StyleFrame which servers as the main interaction point.

class StyleFrame(obj, styler_obj: Styler | None = None, columns: List[str] | None = None)

A wrapper class that wraps a pandas.DataFrame object and represent a stylized dataframe. Stores container objects that have values and styles that will be applied to excel

Parameters:
  • obj – Any object that pandas’ dataframe can be initialized with: an existing dataframe, a dictionary, a list of dictionaries or another StyleFrame.

  • styler_obj (Styler) – Will be used as the default style of all cells.

  • columns (None or list[str]) – Names of columns to use. Only applicable if obj is numpy.ndarray

classmethod ExcelWriter(path, **kwargs)

A shortcut for pandas.ExcelWriter, and accepts any argument it accepts except for engine

Parameters:
  • start_type (str: one of utils.conditional_formatting_types or any other type Excel supports) – The type for the minimum bound

  • start_value – The threshold for the minimum bound

  • start_color (str: one of utils.colors, hex string or color name ie ‘yellow’ Excel supports) – The color for the minimum bound

  • end_type (str: one of utils.conditional_formatting_types or any other type Excel supports) – The type for the maximum bound

  • end_value – The threshold for the maximum bound

  • end_color (str: one of utils.colors, hex string or color name ie ‘yellow’ Excel supports) – The color for the maximum bound

  • mid_type (None or str: one of utils.conditional_formatting_types or any other type Excel supports) – The type for the middle bound

  • mid_value – The threshold for the middle bound

  • mid_color (None or str: one of utils.colors, hex string or color name ie ‘yellow’ Excel supports) – The color for the middle bound

  • columns_range (None or list[str or int] or tuple[str or int])) – A two-elements list or tuple of columns to which the conditional formatting will be added to. If not provided at all the conditional formatting will be added to all columns. If a single element is provided then the conditional formatting will be added to the provided column. If two elements are provided then the conditional formatting will start in the first column and end in the second. The provided columns can be a column name, letter or index.

classmethod read_excel(path: str, sheet_name: str | int = 0, read_style: bool = False, use_openpyxl_styles: bool = False, read_comments: bool = False, **kwargs) StyleFrame

Creates a StyleFrame object from an existing Excel.

Note

read_excel() also accepts all arguments that pandas.read_excel() accepts as kwargs.

Parameters:
  • path (str) – The path to the Excel file to read.

  • sheet_name (str or int) – The sheet name to read. If an integer is provided then it be used as a zero-based sheet index. Default is 0.

  • read_style (bool) – If True the sheet’s style will be loaded to the returned StyleFrame object.

  • use_openpyxl_styles (bool) –

    If True (and read_style is also True) then the styles in the returned StyleFrame object will be Openpyxl’s style objects. If False, the styles will be Styler objects.

    Note

    Using use_openpyxl_styles=False is useful if you are going to filter columns or rows by style, for example:

    sf = sf[[col for col in sf.columns if col.style.font == utils.fonts.arial]]
    

  • read_comments (bool) – If True (and read_style is also True) cells’ comments will be loaded to the returned StyleFrame object. Note that reading comments without reading styles is currently not supported.

to_excel(excel_writer: str | ExcelWriter | Path = 'output.xlsx', sheet_name: str = 'Sheet1', allow_protection: bool = False, right_to_left: bool = False, columns_to_hide: None | str | list | tuple | set = None, row_to_add_filters: int | None = None, columns_and_rows_to_freeze: str | None = None, best_fit: None | str | list | tuple | set = None, index: bool = False, **kwargs) ExcelWriter

Saves the dataframe to excel and applies the styles.

Note

to_excel() also accepts all arguments that pandas.DataFrame.to_excel() accepts as kwargs.

Parameters:
  • excel_writer (str or pandas.ExcelWriter or pathlib.Path) – File path or existing ExcelWriter

  • sheet_name (str) – Name of sheet the StyleFrame will be exported to

  • allow_protection (bool) – Allow to protect the cells that specified as protected. If used protection=True in a Styler object this must be set to True.

  • right_to_left (bool) – Makes the sheet right-to-left.

  • columns_to_hide (None or str or list or tuple or set) – Columns names to hide.

  • row_to_add_filters (None or int) – Add filters to the given row index, starts from 0 (which will add filters to header row).

  • columns_and_rows_to_freeze (None or str) – Column and row string to freeze. For example “C3” will freeze columns: A, B and rows: 1, 2.

New in version 1.4.

Parameters:

best_fit (None or str or list or tuple or set) –

single column, list, set or tuple of columns names to attempt to best fit the width for.

Note

best_fit will attempt to calculate the correct column-width based on the longest value in each provided column. However this isn’t guaranteed to work for all fonts (works best with monospaced fonts). The formula used to calculate a column’s width is equivalent to

(len(longest_value_in_column) + A_FACTOR) * P_FACTOR

The default values for A_FACTOR and P_FACTOR are 13 and 1.3 respectively, and can be modified before calling StyleFrame.to_excel by directly modifying StyleFrame.A_FACTOR and StyleFrame.P_FACTOR

New in version 4.2.

Parameters:

index (bool) – Write row names.

Return type:

pandas.ExcelWriter
