Auto Adjusting Column Length and Row Height

Hi! Thanks for contributing to StyleFrame. Please make sure to mention the Python, StyleFrame, pandas and openpyxl versions you are using.

I am having an issue with the excel sheet auto adjusting the column to the widest length, below is some sample code I am having an issue with.

import pandas as pd
from StyleFrame import StyleFrame, Styler, utils

df = pd.DataFrame({'WW': ['WWWW', 'WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW']})

sf = StyleFrame(df)
ew = StyleFrame.ExcelWriter('pandas_simple.xlsx')
sf.to_excel(ew)
ew.save()

Here are the versions I am using

Python: 3.5.2 StyleFrame: 1.3.1 Pandas 0.20.3 openpyxl: 2.2.5

Solved in version 1.4. See information about best_fit argument of to_excel method and the note at the bottom: http://styleframe.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_documentation.html#to-excel

I’ll need to look into this.

As a temporary workaround, a possible solution would be using sf.set_column_width_dict to set each column’s width according to the longest string in it multiplied by some factor:

df = pd.DataFrame({'WW': ['WWWW', 'WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW'],
                   'ZZ': ['ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ', 'ZZ']})
sf = StyleFrame(df)
factor = 2.5
sf.set_column_width_dict({column: max(df[column].str.len()) * factor for column in df.columns})
ew = StyleFrame.ExcelWriter('pandas_simple.xlsx')
sf.to_excel(ew).save()

This is obviously quick and dirty, and isn’t perfect (it won’t work with all fonts and font sizes).
