Class TableAppender
Object
TableAppender
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Flushable,- Appendable
An 
Appendable which formats the text as a table suitable for displaying in devices using
 a monospaced font. Columns are separated by tabulations ('\t') and rows are separated by
 line or paragraph separators.
 The content of every table cells are stored in memory until the flush() method is invoked.
 When invoked, flush() copies the cell contents to the underlying stream
 or buffer while replacing tabulations by some amount of spaces and drawing borders.
 The exact number of spaces is computed from the cell widths.
 For example, the following code:
TableAppender table = new TableAppender(System.out);
table.nextLine('═');
table.append("English\tFrench\tr.e.d.\n");
table.nextLine('-');
table.append("Mercury\tMercure\t0.382\n")
     .append("Venus\tVénus\t0.949\n")
     .append("Earth\tTerre\t1.00\n")
     .append("Mars\tMars\t0.532\n");
table.nextLine('═');
table.flush();╔═════════╤═════════╤════════╗ ║ English │ French │ r.e.d. ║ ╟─────────┼─────────┼────────╢ ║ Mercury │ Mercure │ 0.382 ║ ║ Venus │ Vénus │ 0.949 ║ ║ Earth │ Terre │ 1.00 ║ ║ Mars │ Mars │ 0.532 ║ ╚═════════╧═════════╧════════╝

Field Details- 
ALIGN_LEFTpublic static final byte ALIGN_LEFTA possible value for cell alignment. This specifies that the text is aligned to the left indent and extra whitespace should be placed on the right.- See Also:
 
- 
ALIGN_CENTERpublic static final byte ALIGN_CENTERA possible value for cell alignment. This specifies that the text is aligned to the center and extra whitespace should be placed equally on the left and right.- See Also:

Constructor Details- 
TableAppenderpublic TableAppender()Creates a new table formatter writing in an internal buffer with a default column separator. The default is a vertical double line for the left and right table borders, and a single line between the columns.
- 
TableAppenderCreates a new table formatter writing in an internal buffer with the specified column separator.- Parameters:
- separator- string to write between columns.
 
- 
TableAppenderCreates a new table formatter writing in the given output with a default column separator. The default is a vertical double line for the left and right table borders, and a single line between the columns.- Parameters:
- out- the underlying stream or buffer to write to.
 
- 
TableAppenderCreates a new table formatter writing in the given output with the specified column separator.- Parameters:
- out- the underlying stream or buffer to write to.
- separator- string to write between columns.
 
- 
TableAppenderCreates a new table formatter writing in the given output with the specified column separator and border.- Parameters:
- out- the underlying stream or buffer to write to.
- leftBorder- string to write on the left side of the table.

Method Details- 
isMultiLinesCellspublic boolean isMultiLinesCells()Returnstrueif EOL characters are used for line feeds inside current cells.- Returns:
- trueif EOL characters are to be write inside the cell.
 
- 
setMultiLinesCellspublic void setMultiLinesCells(boolean multiLines) Sets the desired behavior for EOL and tabulations characters.- If true, then tabulations, line and paragraph separator characters are copied into the current cell. Subsequent writing operations will continue inside the same cell.
- If false, then tabulations move to next column and EOL move to the first cell of next row (i.e. tabulation and EOL are equivalent tonextColumn()andnextLine()calls respectively).
 false.- Parameters:
- multiLines-- truetrue if EOL are used for line feeds inside current cells, or- falseif EOL move to the next row.

- 
getCellAlignmentpublic byte getCellAlignment()Returns the alignment of the text inside the current cell. The default value isALIGN_LEFT.- Returns:
- current cell alignment as one of the ALIGN_LEFT,ALIGN_RIGHTorALIGN_CENTERconstants.
 
- 
setCellAlignmentpublic void setCellAlignment(byte alignment) Sets the alignment of the text inside the current cell. The alignments of any cell written prior this method call are left unchanged. The new alignment will apply to the next cells too until thissetCellAlignment(…)method is invoked again with a different value.If this method is never invoked, then the default alignment is ALIGN_LEFT.- Parameters:
- alignment- the new cell alignment as one of the- ALIGN_LEFT,- ALIGN_RIGHTor- ALIGN_CENTERconstants.
 
- 
getLineSeparatorReturns the line separator between table rows. This is the first line separator found in the text formatted as a table, or the system default if no line separator was found in the text to format.- Returns:
- the line separator between table rows.
- Since:
- 1.0
 
- 
getRowCountpublic int getRowCount()Returns the number of rows in this table. This count is reset to 0 byflush().- Returns:
- the number of rows in this table.
 
- 
getColumnCountpublic int getColumnCount()Returns the number of columns in this table.- Returns:
- the number of columns in this table.
 
- 
appendWrites a single character. IfisMultiLinesCells()isfalse(which is the default), then:- Tabulations ('\t') are replaced by calls tonextColumn().
- line or paragraph separators are replaced by calls to nextLine().
 - Specified by:
- appendin interface- Appendable
- Parameters:
- c- character to write.
- Returns:
- this.
 
- Tabulations (
- 
appendAppends the specified character sequence.- Specified by:
- appendin interface- Appendable
- Parameters:
- sequence- the character sequence to append, or- null.
- Returns:
- a reference to this Appendable.
 
- 
appendWrites a portion of a character sequence. Tabulations and line separators are interpreted as byappend(char).- Specified by:
- appendin interface- Appendable
- Parameters:
- sequence- the character sequence to be written.
- start- index from which to start reading characters.
- end- index of the character following the last character to read.
- Returns:
- this.
 
- 
appendHorizontalSeparatorpublic void appendHorizontalSeparator()Writes an horizontal separator using the'─'character.- See Also:
 
- 
nextColumnpublic void nextColumn()Moves one column to the right. The subsequent writing operations will occur in a new cell on the same row.
- 
nextColumnpublic void nextColumn(char fill) Moves one column to the right, filling remaining space with the given character. The subsequent writing operations will occur in a new cell on the same row.Calling nextColumn('*')from the first character in a cell is a convenient way to put a pad value in this cell.- Parameters:
- fill- character filling the cell (default to whitespace).
 
- 
nextLinepublic void nextLine()Moves to the first column on the next row. The subsequent writing operations will occur on a new row.
- 
nextLinepublic void nextLine(char fill) Moves to the first column on the next row, filling every remaining cell in the current row with the specified character. The subsequent writing operations will occur on a new row.Calling nextLine('-')ornextLine('═')from the first column of a row is a convenient way to fill this row with a line separator.- Parameters:
- fill- character filling the rest of the line (default to whitespace). This character may be use as a row separator.

- 
flushFlushes the table content to the underlying stream or buffer. This method should not be called before the table is completed (otherwise, columns may have the wrong width).- Specified by:
- flushin interface- Flushable
- Throws:
- IOException- if an output operation failed.
 
- 
toStringReturns the content of thisTableAppenderas a string if possible.- If this TableAppenderhas been created without explicitAppendable, then this method always returns the current table content formatted as a string.
- Otherwise, if outimplementsCharSequenceor is directly or indirectly a wrapper around aCharSequence, returns itstoString()representation. The string will contain this table content only ifflush()has been invoked prior thistoString()method.
- Otherwise returns the localized "Unavailable content" string.
 - Returns:
- the content of this Appendable, or a localized message for unavailable content.
