Using Font ColorMaps

Similarly to coloring each ColumnCells background based on its value, you can color each cells text.

You can do this by providing a text_cmap to a ColumnDefinition.

Auto-Coloring of text

You can auto-color text based on the cells backgrounds (or bbox-patches) colors.

You do this after instantiating the table.

autoset_fontcolors(
        self, fn: Callable = None, colnames: List[str] = None, **kwargs
    ) -> Table:
    """Sets the fontcolor of each table cells text based on the facecolor of its rectangle patch.

    Args:
        fn (Callable, optional):
            Callable that takes the rectangle patches facecolor as
            rgba-value as argument.
            Defaults to plottable.font.contrasting_font_color if fn is None.
        kwargs are passed to fn.

    Returns:
        plottable.table.Table
    """
