Data Grid

Evaluation

The widget allows entering tabular data. The context menu on table header cells allows to add, move, and delete columns.

By default the widgets evaluates to a list of rows, where each row is represented by dict values keyed by column names.

The widget context menu allows to switch between different evaluation modes:

• a list of rows, each row a dict (default)
• a list of rows, each row a list
• a list of columns, each column a list

In addition the widget context menu allows to include column names in the generated value. If that option is selected, the widget evaluates to a dict with the keys :columns containing a list of column names, and :data containing the entered data.
