TemplateTableLayout

Inheritance: java.lang.Object

public class TemplateTableLayout

Provides the template table layout which is used by TemplateTable class to define table position.

Constructors

Constructor	Description
TemplateTableLayout(Iterable verticalSeparators, Iterable horizontalSeparators)	Initializes a new instance of the TemplateTableLayout class.

Methods

Method	Description
getRectangle()	Gets the rectangular area that contains the table.
getVerticalSeparators()	Gets the table columns separators.
getHorizontalSeparators()	Gets the table rows separators.
moveTo(Point point)	Creates a new layout with the same size, separators and position in the point.

TemplateTableLayout(Iterable verticalSeparators, Iterable horizontalSeparators)

public TemplateTableLayout(Iterable<Double> verticalSeparators, Iterable<Double> horizontalSeparators)

Initializes a new instance of the TemplateTableLayout class.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
verticalSeparators	java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Double>	The table columns separators.
horizontalSeparators	java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Double>	The table rows separators.

getRectangle()

public Rectangle getRectangle()

Gets the rectangular area that contains the table.

Returns: Rectangle - An instance of Rectangle class that represents the rectangular area that contains the table.

getVerticalSeparators()

public List<Double> getVerticalSeparators()

Gets the table columns separators.

Returns: java.util.List<java.lang.Double> - A collection of double values that represent x-coordinates of the table columns separators.

getHorizontalSeparators()

public List<Double> getHorizontalSeparators()

Gets the table rows separators.

Returns: java.util.List<java.lang.Double> - A collection of double values that represent y-coordinates of the table rows separators.

moveTo(Point point)

public TemplateTableLayout moveTo(Point point)

Creates a new layout with the same size, separators and position in the point.

This functionality allows to move Table Layout.

For example, a document has tables on each page (or a set of documents with a table on the page). These tables differ by position and content, but have the same columns and rows. In this case a user can define TemplateTableLayout object at (0, 0) once and then move it to the location of the definite table.

If the table position depends on the other object of the page, a user can define TemplateTableLayout object based on template document and then move it according to an anchor object. For example, if this is a summary table and it is followed by details table (which can contain a different count of rows). In this case a user can define TemplateTableLayout object on template document (with the known details table rectangle) and then move TemplateTableLayout object according to the difference of details table rectangle of template and real document.

moveTo(Point) method returns a copy of the current object. A user can pass any coordinates (even negative - then layout will be moved to the left/top).

// Create a table layout
 TemplateTableLayout layout = new TemplateTableLayout(
     java.util.Arrays.asList(new Double[] { 0.0, 25.0, 150.0, 180.0, 230.0 }),
     java.util.Arrays.asList(new Double[] { 0.0, 15.0, 30.0, 45.0, 60.0, 75.0 }));
 // Print a rectangle
 Rectangle rect = layout.getRectangle();
 // Prints: pos: (0, 0) size: (230, 75)
 System.out.println(String.format("pos: (%d, %d) size: (%d, %d)",
         rect.getLeft(), rect.getTop(),
         rect.getSize().getWidth(), rect.getSize().getHeight()));
 // Move layout to the definite table location
 TemplateTableLayout movedLayout = layout.moveTo(new Point(315, 250));
 // Ensure that the first separators are moved:
 System.out.println(movedLayout.getVerticalSeparators().get(0)); // prints: 315
 System.out.println(movedLayout.getHorizontalSeparators().get(0)); // prints: 250
 Rectangle movedRect = movedLayout.getRectangle();
 // Prints: pos: (315, 250) size: (230, 75)
 System.out.println(String.format("pos: (%d, %d) size: (%d, %d)",
         movedRect.getLeft(), movedRect.getTop(),
         movedRect.getSize().getWidth(), movedRect.getSize().getHeight()));
 // movedLayout object is a copy of layout object, thus we can tune separators without the impact on the original layout:
 movedLayout.getHorizontalSeparators().add(90.0);
 System.out.println(movedLayout.getHorizontalSeparators().size()); // prints: 7
 System.out.println(layout.getHorizontalSeparators().size()); // prints: 6
 

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
point	Point	The position of the new layout.

Returns: TemplateTableLayout - A new layout with the same size, separators and position in the point.
