BUG I can't disable/remove lines in the table

[manuscriptum]

I can't disable/remove lines in the table Hello everyone! I'm facing a problem. I can't disable/remove lines in the table. But at the same time the lines in the table are displayed. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

To Reproduce To achieve this, I add a table to the layout in this way.

    layout.add(
        FlexibleColumnWidthTable(number_of_columns=1, number_of_rows=3, border_top=False, border_right=False, border_bottom=False, border_left=False)
        .add(Paragraph("First line"))
        .add(Paragraph("Second line"))
        .add(Paragraph("Third line"))
    )

Expected behaviour A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

  • input PDF (if applicable)

Hi @manuscriptum,

Every LayoutElement has these (border) options in their constructor. They are responsible for drawing a border around the LayoutElement.

You are trying to use them to control borders inside the Table.

There are 2 options:

• use the no_borders() method on Table to specify you would prefer no internal borders.
• instead of passing Paragraph objects to Table you can pass TableCell objects. These objects also have the border properties. And they are in fact tied to drawing internal borders. This is particularly useful if you only want to draw some borders, as this approach allows you to set internal borders at the most granular level. By the way, if you look at the code inside Table you'll see that anything that isn't TableCell gets wrapped in a TableCell automatically.

Finally, I would like to point out the issues section on github is not meant to serve as a replacement for Stackoverflow. Borb has its own tag there. By using Stackoverflow you are ensuring other people who face a similar issue will find help more quickly.

Kind regards, Joris Schellekens
