pandas.Series.to_latex

Series.to_latex(buf=None, columns=None, col_space=None, header=True, index=True, na_rep='NaN', formatters=None, float_format=None, sparsify=None, index_names=True, bold_rows=False, column_format=None, longtable=None, escape=None, encoding=None, decimal='.', multicolumn=None, multicolumn_format=None, multirow=None, caption=None, label=None, position=None)[source]

Render object to a LaTeX tabular, longtable, or nested table/tabular.

Requires \usepackage{booktabs}. The output can be copy/pasted into a main LaTeX document or read from an external file with \input{table.tex}.

Changed in version 1.0.0: Added caption and label arguments.

Changed in version 1.2.0: Added position argument, changed meaning of caption argument.

Parameters

buf:str, Path or StringIO-like, optional, default None

Buffer to write to. If None, the output is returned as a string.

columns:list of label, optional

The subset of columns to write. Writes all columns by default.

col_space:int, optional

The minimum width of each column.

header:bool or list of str, default True

Write out the column names. If a list of strings is given, it is assumed to be aliases for the column names.

index:bool, default True

Write row names (index).

na_rep:str, default ‘NaN’

Missing data representation.

formatters:list of functions or dict of {str: function}, optional

Formatter functions to apply to columns’ elements by position or name. The result of each function must be a unicode string. List must be of length equal to the number of columns.

float_format:one-parameter function or str, optional, default None

Formatter for floating point numbers. For example float_format="%.2f" and float_format="{:0.2f}".format will both result in 0.1234 being formatted as 0.12.

sparsify:bool, optional

Set to False for a DataFrame with a hierarchical index to print every multiindex key at each row. By default, the value will be read from the config module.

index_names:bool, default True

Prints the names of the indexes.

bold_rows:bool, default False

Make the row labels bold in the output.

column_format:str, optional

The columns format as specified in LaTeX table format e.g. ‘rcl’ for 3 columns. By default, ‘l’ will be used for all columns except columns of numbers, which default to ‘r’.

longtable:bool, optional

By default, the value will be read from the pandas config module. Use a longtable environment instead of tabular. Requires adding a usepackage{longtable} to your LaTeX preamble.

escape:bool, optional

By default, the value will be read from the pandas config module. When set to False prevents from escaping latex special characters in column names.

encoding:str, optional

A string representing the encoding to use in the output file, defaults to ‘utf-8’.

decimal:str, default ‘.’

Character recognized as decimal separator, e.g. ‘,’ in Europe.

multicolumn:bool, default True

Use multicolumn to enhance MultiIndex columns. The default will be read from the config module.

multicolumn_format:str, default ‘l’

The alignment for multicolumns, similar to column_format The default will be read from the config module.

multirow:bool, default False

Use multirow to enhance MultiIndex rows. Requires adding a usepackage{multirow} to your LaTeX preamble. Will print centered labels (instead of top-aligned) across the contained rows, separating groups via clines. The default will be read from the pandas config module.

caption:str or tuple, optional

Tuple (full_caption, short_caption), which results in \caption[short_caption]{full_caption}; if a single string is passed, no short caption will be set.

New in version 1.0.0.

Changed in version 1.2.0: Optionally allow caption to be a tuple (full_caption, short_caption).

label:str, optional

The LaTeX label to be placed inside \label{} in the output. This is used with \ref{} in the main .tex file.

New in version 1.0.0.

position:str, optional

The LaTeX positional argument for tables, to be placed after \begin{} in the output.

New in version 1.2.0.

Returns

str or None

If buf is None, returns the result as a string. Otherwise returns None.
