Suggestion - TikZ naming of cells and borders #29

Open projetmbc opened 3 years ago

projetmbc commented 3 years ago

nicematrix use of names of the cells to play with TikZ for (even if this fine-tunings is used in some rare situations).

This could be a feature proposed only when using \UseTblrLibrary{tikz}.

Tabularray doesn't have this feature at this moment. Maybe in the future. Seems it need some hooks too (see also #27).

In fact, nicematrix could create three nodes for each cell; the names of them are of the type i-j, i-j-medium and i-j-large. I am inclined to create only one node for each cell in tabularray.

Moreover, nicematrix creates a coordinate node i at each intersection of the ith hline and ith vline, hence coordinate i-|j is at the intersection of the ith hline and jth vline. (What if the number of rows is not equal to the number of columns? I haven't checked the code yet.)

First of all, we need to decide whether or not tabularray will adopt all the above interfaces of nicematrix.

Also, nicematrix loads pgfcore but not tikz. Maybe tabularray could do the same and call it pgf library but not tikz library.
