Feature request: color in table #8

Open yeKcim opened 7 years ago

yeKcim commented 7 years ago

actually color of text in table is always black, it could be interesting if color depends of data : result of formula could be blue for example.

Which version are you talking about? Release-3?

narunlifescience commented 7 years ago

@yeKcim This feature would be pretty nasty to implement. For example, consider the case when a user create a table with >100,000 rows and generate data based on a formula and then edit some rows. now what should be the colour of edited rows ? now after editing rows suppose the user changed one row back to the same result as that of formula without undoing; what should be the colour then ? More over this feature would need to keep track of table editing and change the colour of cells on the fly. this could be expensive on CPU especially for large data sets. If such a feature is implemented a table would also need to store a colour matrix apart from its data. For eg, Consider a table with 10,00,000 cells that could consume a memory of > 1GB. If an additional colour metric needs to be implemented, then the memory usage could double >2GB.

@bbbear2002 I think, he is asking for a feature.

@narunlifescience Would we see a Release-4 soon?

narunlifescience commented 7 years ago

No, currently I am busy with my thesis work.

bbbear2002 commented 7 years ago

@narunlifescience Good luck for you! Wish there would be a release soon, since 4 months have passed by.

narunlifescience commented 7 years ago

I was busy with other works so will have to wait longer. plz use chat instead of issues to ask about releases..
