Table Border Reference

A complete reference of all table border styles available in Spectre.Console

Spectre.Console provides various table border styles to customize the appearance of tables. Each border style defines characters for different parts of the table structure.

Usage Example

csharp 
var table = new Table();
table.Border(TableBorder.Rounded);
table.AddColumn("Name");
table.AddColumn("Age");
table.AddRow("Alice", "25");
AnsiConsole.Write(table);

Important Notes

  • Unicode Support: Some border styles use Unicode box-drawing characters. Ensure your terminal supports Unicode.
  • Safe Borders: Each border has a SafeBorder property that provides an ASCII fallback for limited terminals.
  • Custom Borders: You can create custom borders by inheriting from TableBorder and implementing GetPart().
