This page contains examples of table rendering
illustrating the available varieties and options.
These examples all use the
<a href="../doc/pltab.1.html">pltab</a> program
to take a plain ascii table (perhaps produced by a program
or by hand) and create presentable results.
<b>pltab</b> is most apt for producing paper reports; thus
most of these examples look best in PostScript.
<p>
<h1><br>Example 1</h1>
<a href="simple.html">simple.tab<br><img src="simple.gif"></a>
<br>
A simple example.  Nothing much, except that if you look at the
PostScript, the table is set in Helvetica.
<p>
<h1><br>Example 2</h1>
<a href="vols.html">vols.tab<br><img src="vols.gif"></a>
<br>
This example illustrates a table having two panels.  Horizontal and vertical
rules are added by way of embedded <b>#hr</b> operators.
<p>
<h1><br>Example 3</h1>
<a href="checklist.html">checklist<br><img src="checklistp1.gif"></a>
<br>
In this multipage example, <b>pltab</b> operates in <b>chartmode</b>
and creates shaded section headers.  When doing multipage tables, the
title and column headers are automatically replicated at the top of
each page.

<p>
<h1><br>Example 4</h1>
<a href="inel.html">inel.tab<br><img src="inelp1.gif"></a>
<br>
Another multipage example of a table having mostly text content.
Section headers (the city names) are set off by enlarging one
point size and rendering in Bold Italic.

<h1><br>Example 5</h1>
<a href="markov.html">markov.tab<br><img src="markov.gif"></a>
<br>
This example shows how a table may be combined with a graph (this
is not the same as a <a href="gall.tabgraph.html">tabular graph</a>.
