Building Table Formatting Tools
Mihai Bilauca, Patrick Healy

Presented by Mihai Bilauca.

ABSTRACT

In this paper we present an overview of the challenges to overcome when developing table authoring tools, including a review of logical table models, typographical issues and automated table layout optimization. We present a Table Drawing Tool prototype which implements an automated solution for the table layout optimization problem for tables with spanning cells using a mathematical modelling method. We report on the performance improvements of this new optimization method compared to previous solutions.
