Display the Pandas DataFrame in table style and border around the table and not around the rows

Last Updated : 21 Aug, 2020

Let us see how to style a Pandas DataFrame such that it has a border around the table. We will be using the set_table_styles() method of the Styler class in the Pandas module.

set_table_styles()

Syntax : set_table_styles(self, table_styles)

Parameters :
table_styles : List, each individual table_style should be a dictionary with selector and props keys.

Returns : Styler

Example 1 :

# import the module 
import pandas as pd  
  
# create a DataFrame  
ODI_runs = {'name': ['Tendulkar', 'Sangakkara', 'Ponting',  
                      'Jayasurya', 'Jayawardene', 'Kohli',  
                      'Haq', 'Kallis', 'Ganguly', 'Dravid'],  
            'runs': [18426, 14234, 13704, 13430, 12650,  
                     11867, 11739, 11579, 11363, 10889]}  
df = pd.DataFrame(ODI_runs)   
  
# making a yellow border 
df.style.set_table_styles([{'selector' : '', 
                            'props' : [('border', 
                                        '10px solid yellow')]}]) 

Output :

Example 2 :

# import the module 
import pandas as pd  
  
# create a DataFrame  
df = pd.DataFrame({"A":[14, 4, 5, 4, 1],  
                    "B":[5, 2, 54, 3, 2],   
                    "C":[20, 20, 7, 3, 8],  
                    "D":[14, 3, 6, 2, 6]}) 
  
# making a green border 
df.style.set_table_styles([{'selector' : '', 
                            'props' : [('border', 
                                        '2px solid green')]}])
