mlreportgen.ppt.RowSep(style) sets the Style property to the value of style.

mlreportgen.ppt.RowSep(style,color) also sets the Color property to the value of color.

mlreportgen.ppt.RowSep(style,color,width) also sets the Width property to the value of width.

Examples

Customize Table Row Separators

To customize the lines that separate table rows, set the properties of an mlreportgen.ppt.RowSep object and add the object to the Style property of an mlreportgen.ppt.Table object. This example makes the row separators dashed and red with a line width of three points.

Create a presentation.

import mlreportgen.ppt.*
ppt = Presentation("myRowSep.pptx");
open(ppt);

Add a slide to the presentation.

slide = add(ppt,"Title and Table");

Create a table and set custom row separators.

t = Table(magic(3));
t.Style = [t.Style {RowSep("dash","red","3pt")}];

Add the title and table to the slide.

replace(slide,"Title","Table with custom row separators");
replace(slide,"Table",t);

Close and view the presentation.

close(ppt);
rptview(ppt);

Here is the table in the generated presentation:
