US 2025/0029313 A1 · Systems and methods for rendering tables

Abstract

A computer implemented method for rendering a table is described. The table includes intersections formed by a plurality of lines, each of the plurality of lines associated with at least a first attribute. The method includes, for one or more of the intersections, matching a value of the first attribute of a first line of the plurality of lines with a value of the first attribute for at least a second line of the plurality lines, wherein the second line is different to the first line and based on the matching, rendering a displayed area of the intersection with a value for the first attribute that matches the value of the first attribute of the first line. The value of the first attribute defines an appearance of the line, for example the line fill colour, when the table is rendered on a display device.

Dependent claims

A computer implemented method for rendering a table comprising cells and a plurality of cell borders that are each in the form of a line with line attributes comprising a line weight, the method comprising for an intersection of two or more of the cell borders:

determining a join box or node to represent the intersection when rendering the table, wherein the join box or node has a) an area with a dimension corresponding to a greatest line weight of the two or more cell borders forming the intersection and b) at least one join box or node attribute;
rendering the join box or node in the table, wherein the join box or node is rendered within the area according to at least one join box or node attribute determined based on one or more of the line attributes.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
