Error while inserting attribute table to Layout using PyQGIS

Question

I am trying to insert a qgis attribute table to a layout using Visual Studio Code, how would I do it?

layout = project.layoutManager().layoutByName('nombre_layout')

table = QgsLayoutItemAttributeTable(layout)

layer = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName('nombre_capa')[0]
table.setVectorLayer(layer)
table.setDisplayOnlyVisibleFeatures(True)
table.setDisplayHeader(True) #This line doesn't work

layout.addLayoutItem(table)

table.attemptResize(QgsLayoutSize(150, 150, QgsUnitTypes.LayoutMillimeters))
table.attemptMove(QgsLayoutPoint(10, 10, QgsUnitTypes.LayoutMillimeters))

I get the error:

File "c:\Users\Desktop\Proyectos\PyQgis\script.py", line 174, in table.setDisplayHeader(True) #This line doesn't work AttributeError: 'QgsLayoutItemAttributeTable' object has no attribute 'setDisplayHeader'

Answer 1

table.setDisplayHeader(True) #This line doesn't work

Because there is no method named setDisplayHeader of table(QgsLayoutItemAttributeTable instance). Therefore, you don't need to use it.

You probably try to display header. Use

table.setHeaderMode(QgsLayoutTable.FirstFrame)

or

table.setHeaderMode(0)

It is set to QgsLayoutTable.FirstFrame by default. All options are: (Reference)

• QgsLayoutTable.FirstFrame: 0
• QgsLayoutTable.AllFrames: 1
• QgsLayoutTable.NoHeaders: 2

Edit: Use layout.addMultiFrame(table) instead of layout.addLayoutItem(table).
