## DESCRIPTION:

Crosstab is a library for generating formatted pivot tables.


## FEATURES:

* Input your data as an array of hashes
* Input a report layout, built using a Ruby DSL

data by a report with 100 rows and 10 columns.
					
## SYNOPSIS:

   require 'rubygems'
   require 'crosstab'

   data = [{:gender => "M", :age => 1},
           {:gender => "F", :age => 2},
           {:gender => "M", :age => 3}]

   my_crosstab = crosstab data do
     table do
       title "Q.A Age:"
       group "18 - 54" do
         row "18 - 34", :age => 1
         row "35 - 54", :age => 2
       end
       row "55 or older", :age => 3
     end

     banner do
       column "Total"
