datatable : vertical headers / cells

I need to display some columns with -90degress rotated text. Its easy to rotate with CSS, but difficult to position correctly inside header or column, because you have t
This would be a nice feature in Webix, like a column / header property “vertical” oder “rotated” or something…

Thanks for suggestion, we will consider it

hi,
i used my own rotate-heade method to show rotated headers (columns with few content like a checkbox but need large labels). it works.

but it does not work with multi line headers, because every header line (and also the footer line) are in the same height! :(((

so on my wish-list for webix 1.11 or 2.0 is:

  • datatable/treetable header flag “vertical” to show it rotated by 90 degrees
  • array of heights for every header line, best in combination with row/colspan
  • separate height for footer line

best regards

array of heights for every header line

Not exactly an array, but ability to define different heights for different lines in header will be in Webix 2.0

Same for footer.

i tried out - great.

but…

dragging columns is buggy now. can’t give exact description at the moment, but in my multiline rotated header table it only “sometimes” drags correct, “sometime” something strange happens.

hope this hint helps already, otherwise i try to find some time to create an example.

(little cosmetic: rotated headers position is a little to much “up and right”. )

I can confirm the issue with d-n-d, fix will be included in the next build.

If you have active license, you can login into the members’s area ( http://webix.com/support ) and grab Webix 2.0.3 that already contains the fix.

As for text position you can adjust it through css

thank you.

for the moment i use my own “rotate” function as workaround, because at this time i have only GPL. hope ill get a commercial project commitment soon :slight_smile:

text position adjust (snippet) does not work in Safari.
