xlwt (Borders: Type)

[nicstel]

Hello,

I'm trying to find documentation about the xlwt (py_excelerator ). I want to change the border of some cells. But the only types that I found is: double and dashed. How to do a simple line and what is the all other border type name?

"borders: top double, bottom double, left double, right double;"


Thank You

Nicolas

This is what I found in the xlwt source code:

border_line_map = {
    # Text values for these borders attributes:
    # left, right, top, bottom and diag
    'no_line':  0x00,
    'thin':     0x01,
    'medium':   0x02,
    'dashed':   0x03,
    'dotted':   0x04,
    'thick':    0x05,
    'double':   0x06,
    'hair':     0x07,
    'medium_dashed':                0x08,
    'thin_dash_dotted':             0x09,
    'medium_dash_dotted':           0x0a,
    'thin_dash_dot_dotted':         0x0b,
    'medium_dash_dot_dotted':       0x0c,
    'slanted_medium_dash_dotted':   0x0d,
    }

Thanks bvdet.

I have tried all the possible border that you sent me and it's all works. I'm learnig to write on excel file with this module because it's easy to use.

Borders type name: thin, medium, dotted etc...
