Sub header colspan about jspdf-autotable HOT 8 CLOSED

I'm working on better support for col and rowspans, in the meantime this is quite complicated. I think it would be possible to not override any rows by keeping track of the y pos that gets sent to the renderCell function and increase it sufficiently before drawing anything. I will look into this hopefully later today or this weekend if you have not solved it.

I have actually never used row- or colspan in a project, can you post what your data looks like so that I better can understand your use case?

Hi Simon, thanks for your quick response. This is an abstract of my data. In some cases I have 60 objects and I need the sub headers to visualise groups of data, otherwise the readability isn't good.

In the meantime, do you think is a good idea to add a new object for each sub header that I want to add so then that will be replaced with the correct colspan format?

Thanks in advance for your help.

var data = [
    {title: "Fecha de creación", organization0: "2015-06-18", organization1: "2015-06-18"},
    {title: "Provincia", organization0: "Pichincha", organization1: "Imbabura"},
    {title: "Cantón", organization0: "Alausí", organization1: "Archidona"},
    {title: "Parroquia", organization0: "Achupallas", organization1: "Abdón Calderón"},
    {title: "Sector/es", organization0: "La Independencia", organization1: "La Independencia"},
    {title: "Nombre del grupo", organization0: "La lucha de los pobres", organization1: "Alternativas de desarrollo"},
    {title: "Representante", organization0: "Juan Guillén", organization1: "Juan Guillén"},
    // ADD SUB HEADER WITHOUT REPLACING A ROW
    {title: "Conocimientos de los pri...ales de la agroecología", organization0: 6, organization1: 9},
    {title: "Decisión política", organization0: 4, organization1: 6},
    {title: "Diseño de finca", organization0: 8, organization1: 8},
    {title: "Capacidades técnicas", organization0: 1, organization1: 6}
];

Yes it sounds like a good idea to add extra objects for now. Is it something like this you want to accomplish with the subheader?

Hi Simon, yes that's what I needed and I solved it adding a new object for each sub header. I reported another issue https://github.com/someatoms/jsPDF-AutoTable/issues/44 where you can see the screeshot. However the problem on that issue is about linebreak but still not able to solve it. Hope you can help me with that one.

Thanks in advance for your help

Thank you for this plugin! I am having an issue where the pageBreak : 'avoid' option doesn't work. The following two tables comes up in two separate pages, I want to have it in the same page one after the other.
I am sure, I am missing something. Any help would be much appreciated.

    pdf.autoTable(descTitle,  descData, {
        startY: 30,
        pageBreak:'avoid'
       });

    pdf.autoTable(titles,  data, {
        startY: 150,
        pageBreak:'avoid'
      });
    pdf.save("Report.pdf");

If you want the tables on the same page you should use pagebreak: 'auto'. This is the default value however. That doesn't work either?

Thank you very much for the prompt reply Simon. Yes, it is working. sorry, I did not try that option before trying. It is a great plugin and I am sure many people would find it useful!
