Rotating the column name for a Panda DataFrame

Question

I'm trying to make nicely formatted tables from pandas. Some of my column names are far too long. The cells for these columns are large cause the whole table to be a mess.

In my example, is it possible to rotate the column names as they are displayed?

data = [{'Way too long of a column to be reasonable':4,'Four?':4},
        {'Way too long of a column to be reasonable':5,'Four?':5}]
pd.DataFrame(data)

Answer 1

Something like:

data = [{'Way too long of a column to be reasonable':4,'Four?':4},
        {'Way too long of a column to be reasonable':5,'Four?':5}]
dfoo = pd.DataFrame(data)
dfoo.style.set_table_styles(
    [dict(selector="th",props=[('max-width', '80px')]),
        dict(selector="th.col_heading",
                 props=[("writing-mode", "vertical-rl"), 
                        ('transform', 'rotateZ(-90deg)'),
                        ])]
)

is probably close to what you want:
