18.2.7. Das Tabellenelement

You can use table items to decorate and explain your map:

• Attribute table: shows a subset of the attributes of a layer, based on predefined rules

• Fixed table: inserts a manual text table where information can be independent from the layers.

18.2.7.1. Das Attributtabellenelement

Any layer in the project can have its attributes shown in the print layout. Use the Add Attribute Table tool following items creation instructions to add a new table item that you can later manipulate the same way as exposed in Interacting with layout items.

By default, a new attribute table item loads first rows of the first (alphabetically sorted) layer, with all the fields. You can however customize the table thanks to its Item Properties panel. Other than the items common properties, this feature has the following functionalities (see Abb. 18.37):

The Main properties group of the attribute table provides the following functionalities (see Abb. 18.38):

Abb. 18.38 Attribute table Main properties Group

• For Source you can by default only select Layer features allowing you to select a Layer from the vector layers loaded in the project.

  The ^{data-defined override} button near the layer list allows you to dynamically change the layer which is used to populate the table, e.g. you could fill the attribute table with different layer attributes per atlas page. Note that the table structure used (Abb. 18.41) is the one of the layer shown in the Layer drop-down list and it is left intact, meaning that setting a data defined table to a layer with different field(s) will result in empty column(s) in the table.

  In case you activate the Generate an atlas option in the Atlas panel (see Einen Atlas erzeugen), there are two additional Source possible:

  • Current atlas feature (see Abb. 18.39): you won’t see any option to choose the layer, and the table item will only show a row with the attributes from the current feature of the atlas coverage layer.

  • and Relation children (see Abb. 18.40): an option with the relation names will show up. This feature can only be used if you have defined a relation using your atlas coverage layer as parent, and the table will show the children rows of the atlas coverage layer’s current feature.

• The button Refresh Table Data can be used to refresh the table when the actual contents of the table has changed.

Abb. 18.40 Attribute table Main properties for ‚Relation children‘

• The button Attributes… starts the Select Attributes dialog, (see Abb. 18.41) that can be used to change the visible contents of the table. The upper part of the window shows the list of the attributes to display and the lower part helps you sort the data.

  

  Abb. 18.41 Attribute table Select attributes Dialog

  Im Spalten Abschnitt können Sie:

  • Move attributes up or down the list by selecting the rows and then using the and buttons to shift the rows. Multiple rows can be selected and moved at any one time.

  • Add an attribute with the button. This will add an empty row at the bottom of the table where you can select a field to be the attribute value or create an attribute via a regular expression.

  • Remove an attribute with the button. Multiple rows can be selected and removed at any one time.

  • Reset the attribute table back to its default state with the Reset button.

  • Clear the table using the Clear button. This is useful when you have a large table but only want to show a small number of attributes. Instead of manually removing each row, it may be quicker to clear the table and add the rows needed.

  • Cell headings can be altered by adding the custom text in the Heading column.

  • Cell alignment can be managed with the Alignment column which will dictate the texts position within the table cell.

  • Cell width can be manually managed by adding custom values to the width column.

  Im Sortierung Abschnitt können Sie:

  • Add an attribute to sort the table with: press the button and a new empty row is added. Insert a field or an expression in the Attribute column and set the Sort order to Ascending or Descending.

  • Select a row in the list and use the and buttons to change the sort priority on attribute level. Selecting a cell in the Sort Order column helps you change the sorting order of the attribute field.

  • Use the button to remove an attribute from the sorting list.

Objektfiltrierung

The Feature filtering group of the attribute table provides the following functionalities (see Abb. 18.42):

Abb. 18.42 Attribute table Feature filtering Group

Sie können:

• Die Maximalen Zeilen , die dargestellt werden sollen, definieren.

• Doppelte Zeilen aus der Tabelle entfernen aktivieren um nur eindeutige Datensätze zu zeigen.

• Activate Show only visible features within a map and select the corresponding Linked map whose visible features attributes will be displayed.

• Activate Show only features intersecting Atlas feature is only available when Generate an atlas is activated. When activated it will show a table with only the features which intersect the current atlas feature.

• Aktivieren Sie Filtern nach und schaffen Sie einen Filter indem Sie eine Eingabezeile eingeben oder einen regulären Ausdruck über den gegebenen Ausdrucksknopf einfügen. Einige Beispiele von Filteranweisungen, die Sie verwenden können wenn Sie den airports Layer aus dem Beispieldatensatz geladen haben

  • ELEV > 500

  • NAME = 'ANIAK'

  • NAME NOT LIKE 'AN%'

  • regexp_match( attribute( $currentfeature, 'USE' ) , '[i]')

  Der letzte reguläre Ausdruck wird nur die Flughäfen einfügen die einen Buchstaben ‚i‘ in der Attributspalte ‚USE‘ haben.

Darstellung

The Appearance group of the attribute table provides the following functionalities (see Abb. 18.43):

• With Background color you can set the background color of the table using the color selector widget. The Advanced customization option helps you define different background colors for each cell (see Abb. 18.44)

Abb. 18.44 Attribute table Advanced Background Dialog

• Apply layer conditional styling colors: the conditional table formatting present in the layer is applied inside the layout attribute table (only background and foreground colors are currently supported). Conditional formatting rules take precedence over other layout table formatting settings, e.g. they will override other cell background color settings such as alternating row colors.

• Mit der :gui-Label:`Wrap Text on` Option können Sie ein Zeichen definieren, auf dem der Zellinhalt wird eingewickelt wird, jedes Mal, wenn er erfüllt ist

• With Oversized text you define the behavior when the width set for a column is smaller than its content’s length. It can be Wrap text or Truncate text.

Additional information about the map can be inserted manually into a table by choosing Add Fixed Table and by following items creation instructions to add a new table item that you can later manipulate the same way as exposed in Interacting with layout items.

By default, an empty table with two minimized columns and rows appears in the map layout. You have to customize the table in the Item Properties panel. Other than the items common properties, this feature has the following functionalities:
