```

## Example

```rust
use pinax::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let headers = vec!["Height", "Weight", "Raw Prediction", "Predicted", "Actual"];
    let data = vec![
        vec!["184.3", "89.5", "0.0000", "Male", "Male"],
        vec!["176.8", "79.2", "0.0036", "Male", "Male"],
        vec!["181.7", "86.9", "0.0001", "Male", "Male"],
        // Add more rows as needed
    ];

    let mut table = Table::new();
    table.set_headers(headers);
    table.add_rows(data);
    table.print();
}
```

This will output:

```
╔══════════╤══════════╤═════════════════╤═══════════╤══════════╗
║  Height  │  Weight  │ Raw Prediction  │ Predicted │  Actual  ║
╠══════════╪══════════╪═════════════════╪═══════════╪══════════╣

║  176.8   │   79.2   │     0.0036      │   Male    │   Male   ║
║  181.7   │   86.9   │     0.0001      │   Male    │   Male   ║
