Thank you very much, Ben. Your solution looks far better. Though I
worked with CTABLES years ago, a steep re-learning curve rests.

Thanks for the report.
A width of 3 is enough to show one integer digit, a decimal point, and one
fractional digit, but not enough for two integer digits, a decimal point,
and one fractional digit. Use F4.1 or a wider format instead.

I guess that it should not be difficult to add support for rsvg, since it's
widely available on all the distributions I know of (including the flatpak
SDK for GNOME). I hope that it does not cause you trouble.

the builders fail because I have not installed rsvg yet. See

A flatpak is just for GNU/Linux. It is a convenient way to install a
piece of software.
You install PSPP in the usual way. The new version has CTABLES.
I do see that the last few builds at Friedrich's autobuilder have failed, for

Forgive me if I insist: (C)TABLES belongs to a time when we

encourages bad practice.

I agree that the SPSS GUI for CTABLES is of not much use (at least in SPSS
17 the lastes that I used) .
I for myself would be contend if PSPP would support the code of CTABLES
(but not only TABLES as Frank oviously states).
So no integration into PSPPire but only into PSPP would be fine for me.
