Tablelight highlights cells in a table that are in a certain numerical range, allowing the user to quickly spot relevant data or significant outliers. There are two versions of Tablelight.
To run tablelight, you will need the following:
Tablelight checkbox highlights cells based on ranges selected by checkboxes. The js and css files can be found in the /checkbox directory along with a sample html file.
- /checkbox/js/tablelight_checkbox.js is the main JavaScript file
- /checkbox/css/tablelight_checkbox.css provides some basic default files
You needs a <fieldset id="tl-ranges"></fieldset> element in your html to hold the range checkboxes. The range values themselves are held in an object called tlRanges with the keys:
- tl-neg
- tl-a
- tl-b
- tl-c
- tl-d
The tl-neg key-value pair is used to express negative values.
The table holding the data needs a class "tl-table." Configuration occurs in the variable definitions in the .on handler near the top of the tablelight_checkbox.js file:
- tableclasser - class of the data table. Default: tl-table
- highlightbg - color value for highlighted cells. Default: #214f74
- highlightfont - text color for highlighted cells. Default: #fff
- lowlightbg - color of the non-selected cells. Default: transparent
- lowlightfont - text color of the non-selected cells. Default: #222
Tablelight slider highlights cells based on ranges selected by a slider interface. The js and css files can be found in the /slider directory along with a sample html file.
- /slider/js/tablelight_slider.js is the main JavaScript file
- /slider/css/tablelight.slider.css provides some default files
Your webpage will need a wrapper div <div id="tl-range"></div> for the slider and a div <div id="tl-slider-range"></div> inside of it. The default range for the slider is 0 - 100. If you wish to change the min and max values for the slider, change those parameters in the $( "#tl-slider-range" ).slider( { } ) configuration.
The table holding the data needs a class "tl-table". Configuration occurs in the variable definitions at the top of the tablelight_slider.js file:
Gradient colors
- colorstarter - minimum value gradient color
- colorender - maximum value gradient color
- More gradients can be found at uigradients
- tableclasser - class of the data table. Default: tl-table
- highlightbg - color value for highlighted cells. Default: #214f74
- highlightfont - text color for highlighted cells. Default: #ffffff
- lowlightbg - color of the non-selected cells. Default: transparent
- lowlightfont - text color of the non-selected cells. Default: #222
- animatespeed - speed of the highlighting animation. Default: 2000
- grad - show gradient or just solid color. 1 for gradient, 0 for solid color
- maxcolor - color for 100% max value color. Default: colorender
