Enclosing class:
CommandLine.Help

public static class CommandLine.Help.TextTable extends Object

Responsible for spacing out CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text values according to the CommandLine.Help.Column definitions the table was created with. Columns have a width, indentation, and an overflow policy that decides what to do if a value is longer than the column's width.

  • Field Details

      protected final List<CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text> columnValues
      The char[] slots of the TextTable to copy text values into.
    • indentWrappedLines

      public int indentWrappedLines
      By default, indent wrapped lines by 2 spaces.

    • rowCount

      public int rowCount()
      Returns the current number of rows of this TextTable.
      Returns:
      the current number of rows in this TextTable
    • addEmptyRow

      public void addEmptyRow()
      Adds the required char[] slots for a new row to the columnValues field.
    • addRowValues

      public void addRowValues(String... values)
      Delegates to addRowValues(CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text...), after ensuring that multi-line values are layed out in the correct row and column.
      Parameters:
      values - the text values to display in each column of the current row
    • addRowValues

      public void addRowValues(CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text... values)

      Adds a new empty row, then calls putValue for each of the specified values, adding more empty rows if the return value indicates that the value spanned multiple columns or was wrapped to multiple rows.

      Parameters:
      values - the values to write into a new row in this TextTable
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the number of values exceeds the number of Columns in this table
    • putValue

      public CommandLine.Help.TextTable.Cell putValue(int row, int col, CommandLine.Help.Ansi.Text value)

      Writes the specified value into the cell at the specified row and column and returns the last row and column written to. Depending on the Column's Overflow policy, the value may span multiple columns or wrap to multiple rows when larger than the column width.

      Parameters:
      row - the target row in the table
      col - the target column in the table to write to
      value - the value to write
      Returns:
      a Cell indicating the position in the table that was last written to (since 2.0)
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the specified row exceeds the table's row count
      Since:
      2.0 (previous versions returned a java.awt.Point object)
