Hi,

I currently have a script that outputs about 30 pdfs. I am trying to minimize the length of the script. A huge portion is taken up by making and filling tables for each output file even though there are actually only three different tables.

Is there a way of creating a table, saving it and simply inserting it when required instead of having to remake the table every time?

Thanks

Since table objects on a graph create a link to an actual Worksheet, it would be problematic to add the same link to multiple graphs.

Maybe having the code to create a table, position it and fill the values would be useful:

// This creates the table object on your graph
add_table_to_graph cols:=3 rows:=2 title:="My Table 1" tab:=tablename$;
// Sample positioning - top left of layer
%(tablename$).x = X1 + %(tablename$).DX / 2;
%(tablename$).y = Y2 - %(tablename$).DY / 2;
// Get named object into shorter string register
%A = tablename$;
// Now fill the table
for(tcol = 1;tcol <= 3;tcol++)
{
for(trow = 1;trow <= 2;trow++)
{
%B = Row $(trow), Col $(tcol);
%A!cell(trow,tcol)$=%B;
}
}
// Refresh
doc -uw;
