Export a Pandas dataframe as a table image

Question

Is it possible to export a Pandas dataframe as an image file? Something like df.to_png() or df.to_table().savefig(\'table.png\').

Answer 1

I had the same requirement for a project I am doing. But none of the answers came elegant to my requirement. Here is something which finally helped me, and might be useful for this case:

from bokeh.io import export_png, export_svgs
from bokeh.models import ColumnDataSource, DataTable, TableColumn

def save_df_as_image(df, path):
    source = ColumnDataSource(df)
    df_columns = [df.index.name]
    df_columns.extend(df.columns.values)
    columns_for_table=[]
    for column in df_columns:
        columns_for_table.append(TableColumn(field=column, title=column))

    data_table = DataTable(source=source, columns=columns_for_table,height_policy="auto",width_policy="auto",index_position=None)
    export_png(data_table, filename = path)
