Using Span::column() with the Style::modern() causes virtual artifact on the intersection in the table

Using Span::column() with the Style::modern() causes virtual artifact on the intersection in the table

To reproduce :

let mut builder = Builder::default();

let mut title = Vec::with_capacity(1);
title.push("Title");
builder.push_record(title);

let mut header = Vec::with_capacity(4);
header.push("header-1");
header.push("header-2");
header.push("header-3");
header.push("header-4");
builder.push_record(header);

let mut record = Vec::with_capacity(4);
record.push("value-1");
record.push("value-2");
record.push("value-3");
record.push("value-4");
builder.push_record(record);

let mut table = builder.build();
table    
.modify((0, 0), Span::column(4))
    .modify((0, 0), Alignment::center())
    .with(Style::modern())
    .to_string();
println!("{}", table);

Artifacts on the header at the intersection :

Hi @fbonin

That's actually by design.

Try to use tabled::settings::style::BorderSpanCorrection afterwards.

Let me know if it helped.

Yes I've just noticed it's not stated in README.md. If you want to you can open a PR

Take care

Thank you !

Just a heads up, BorderSpanCorrection doesn't work on all styles:

use tabled::{
    settings::{
        style::{BorderSpanCorrection, Style},
        Modify, Span,
    },
    Table,
};

fn main() {
    let data = vec![("09", "June", "2022"), ("10", "July", "2022")];

    let mut table = Table::new(&data);
    table
        .with(Modify::new((0, 0)).with("date").with(Span::column(3)))
        .with(BorderSpanCorrection);
    println!("{}", table.to_string());
    table.with(Style::modern());
    println!("{}", table.to_string());
}

$ cargo run

Hi @mkatychev

Good observation, The thing is that you change style after BorderSpanCorrection make its changes.

So essentially you could call it one more time to fix it. Or if you would make them after applying the style, you'd get a different result.

Yesssssssssss, Surely this must be noted in documentation (ref #402)

You can help to update the doc yourself if you want to.

Let me know if that helps, and Take care.

use tabled::{
    settings::{
        style::{BorderSpanCorrection, Style},
        Modify, Span,
    },
    Table,
};

fn main() {
    let data = vec![("09", "June", "2022"), ("10", "July", "2022")];

    let mut table = Table::new(data);
    table
        .with(Modify::new((0, 0)).with("date").with(Span::column(3)))
        .with(Style::modern());

    println!("{table}");

    table.with(BorderSpanCorrection);

    println!("{table}");
}

├────┼──────┼──────┤

├────┼──────┼──────┤

└────┴──────┴──────┘

PS: Once again a good observation.

Note

Could be done with Panel and Disable.

use tabled::{
    settings::{
        object::Rows,
        style::{BorderSpanCorrection, Style},
        Disable, Panel,
    },
    Table,
};

fn main() {
    let data = vec![("09", "June", "2022"), ("10", "July", "2022")];

    let mut table = Table::new(data);
    table
        .with(Disable::row(Rows::first()))
        .with(Panel::header("date"))
        .with(Style::modern());

    println!("{table}");

    table.with(BorderSpanCorrection);

    println!("{table}");
}

[zhiburt]

Or like this without Disable and using Table::from_iter.

use std::iter::FromIterator;

use tabled::{
    settings::{
        style::{BorderSpanCorrection, Style},
        Panel,
    },
    Table,
};

fn main() {
    let data = vec![["09", "June", "2022"], ["10", "July", "2022"]];

    let mut table = Table::from_iter(data);
    table.with(Panel::header("date")).with(Style::modern());

    println!("{table}");

    table.with(BorderSpanCorrection);

    println!("{table}");
}

I can confirm the first approach worked flawlessly with 3 or more columns, thanks @zhiburt. Panel::corrected_header would be valuable as a convenience method although it seems that one needs a &mut Table to do these inside of Table::with.
