Basic Examples (2) 

Apply formatting rules to a Dataset:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Create a Dataset:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Reformat it so that only three rows show and the background is cyan:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Apply a Query to data and format the results using the "Web" theme:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Apply a Query and use a postfix form of the function with iconized arguments to format the results using multiple styling options:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Scope (1) 

If the data to which the function is applied is not a Dataset to begin with, the function will convert it into a formatted Dataset:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

Applications (3) 

Take data on executions in the United States:

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

Group the data by state, find the distribution of executed persons by race, reverse sort the states by total number of executions:

In[8]:=

Display the results of the query by showing just the 5 states with the highest number of executions, while using a "Monochrome" theme:

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

Highlight in lighter purple the number of Black persons executed:

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

One can store a format as a named variable and then deploy it on different datasets:

In[11]:=

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

In[13]:=

Out[13]=

One can create a function using FormatDataset that permits customization and experimentation with formats:

In[14]:=

In[15]:=

Out[15]=

Properties and Relations (1) 

The function compliments the resource function DatasetWithHeaders by permitting the results to be formatted:

In[16]:=

Out[16]=
