        { 1, 25 },
        { 2, 25 }
    })
    .WithTextAlignment(new Dictionary<int, TextAligntment>
    {
        {2, TextAligntment.Right }
    })
    .WithCharMapDefinition(new Dictionary<CharMapPositions, char> {
        {CharMapPositions.BottomLeft, '=' },
        {CharMapPositions.BottomCenter, '=' },
        {CharMapPositions.BottomRight, '=' },
        {CharMapPositions.BorderTop, '=' },
        {CharMapPositions.BorderBottom, '=' },
        {CharMapPositions.BorderLeft, '|' },
        {CharMapPositions.BorderRight, '|' },
        {CharMapPositions.DividerY, '|' },
    })
    .WithHeaderCharMapDefinition(new Dictionary<HeaderCharMapPositions, char> {
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.TopLeft, '=' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.TopCenter, '=' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.TopRight, '=' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.BottomLeft, '|' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.BottomCenter, '-' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.BottomRight, '|' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.Divider, '|' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.BorderTop, '=' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.BorderBottom, '-' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.BorderLeft, '|' },
        {HeaderCharMapPositions.BorderRight, '|' },
    })
    .ExportAndWriteLine(TableAligntment.Right);
