Setup

Get a Dataset of animal weights from the Wolfram Data Repository:

Change Dataset properties

Change the MaxItems displayed in the dataset:

Change the background colors of the dataset:

  • Background works similarly with Dataset as it does with Grid, Column and Row, in that a list can be passed that specifies backgrounds for individual columns, rows or elements.

Notes

You cannot change the properties of an existing Dataset. Instead, you construct a new Dataset object, using the previous dataset as the first argument.
