Tables

table.new(position, columns, rows, bgcolor?, frame_color?, frame_width?,
          border_color?, border_width?, force_overlay?)

• position is a position.* constant: .top_left, .top_center, .top_right, .middle_left, .middle_center, .middle_right, .bottom_left, .bottom_center, .bottom_right.
• columns × rows fixes the grid at creation; it cannot change later.
• Both are capped at 20: a request for more rows or columns is clamped to 20, and table.cell calls outside the grid are ignored. For a longer list, lay the data out as several key/value column pairs (4 or 6 columns) instead of one tall table.
• force_overlay = true renders the table on the price pane even inside an oscillator script.

var table t = table.new(position.top_right, 2, 4,
                        bgcolor=color.new(color.black, 20),
                        border_color=color.gray, border_width=1)

Table creation is usually guarded by var so the same table is reused across bars.

table.cell(table_id, column, row, text,
           text_color?, bgcolor?, text_size?, text_halign?, text_valign?,
           tooltip?, text_font_family?, text_formatting?)

table.cell(t, 0, 0, "Price",   text_color=color.gray,  text_halign=text.align_left)
table.cell(t, 1, 0, str.tostring(close, "#.##"),
                             text_color=color.white, text_halign=text.align_right)

Updating a single cell field without rewriting the whole row:

table.cell_set_text(t, 1, 0, str.tostring(close, "#.##"))
table.cell_set_bgcolor(t, 1, 0, close > open ? color.new(color.lime, 85) : color.new(color.red, 85))
table.cell_set_text_color(t, 1, 0, color.white)

• Horizontal: text.align_left, text.align_center, text.align_right.
• Vertical: text.align_top, text.align_center, text.align_bottom.
• Size: size.auto (default), size.tiny, size.small, size.normal, size.large, size.huge.

Text wrapping is controlled per-cell:

table.cell(t, 0, 0, "A long block of commentary that wraps nicely",
           text_wrap=text.wrap_auto)

• bgcolor on table.new() tints the whole table.
• bgcolor on table.cell() tints the cell only.
• text_formatting accepts text.format_bold, text.format_italic, text.format_bold | text.format_italic.

Merge adjacent cells into one wider or taller cell:

table.merge_cells(t, 0, 0, 1, 0)   // merge columns 0..1 of row 0 (header)

Only rectangular merges are supported. Writing to a merged cell writes to the top-left of the merged region.

table.clear(t, 0, 0, 1, 3)   // clear a sub-rectangle
table.delete(t)              // remove the whole table

Setting a cell's text to "" renders a blank cell but keeps the slot allocated.

Tables are usually populated only on the last bar to avoid rewriting values that will immediately be overwritten:

var table t = table.new(position.top_right, 2, 3, bgcolor=color.new(color.black, 10))

if barstate.islast
    table.cell(t, 0, 0, "Close",    text_color=color.gray,  text_halign=text.align_left)
    table.cell(t, 1, 0, str.tostring(close, "#.##"),
                                  text_color=color.white, text_halign=text.align_right)
    table.cell(t, 0, 1, "RSI 14",
                                  text_color=color.gray,  text_halign=text.align_left)
    table.cell(t, 1, 1, str.tostring(ta.rsi(close, 14), "0.0"),
                                  text_color=color.white, text_halign=text.align_right)
