I am looking for how to handle the different ODFDOM classes, I can not find out looking at the documentation online how to solve this:
I got an ArrayList , which I want to list in different tables. There should be at the end 3 different tables on each page, i.e. if in the ArrayList are stored about 20 Persons, it should be about 7 pages, each page containing 3 tables.
I wrote a small class, which can print out the tables, and the arraylist, but I still miss the following three points.
a. how is the fix definition of a row/cell hight? Or the overall hight of one table? I want to have a fixed height, the text in one cell can be wrapped, but the wrapping should not be covering more than four lines. If I have 5 rows, the overall height of a table should stay the same.
b. how can I define the properties for a cell, i.e. the font size, kind, color etc. Also how can I define the border for the table, or the cells?
c. To get 3 tables exactly with data and same height, how do I tell the program that it should include a page or paragraph break after said 3 tables.
Here is the class
import java.util.List;
import static org.odftoolkit.odfdom.dom.style.OdfStyleFamily.Table;
import org.odftoolkit.simple.TextDocument;
import org.odftoolkit.simple.table.Cell;
import org.odftoolkit.simple.table.Row;
import org.odftoolkit.simple.table.Table;
public class Test
{
public void doIt(TextDocument document, Person person, int y)
{
try
{
int row = 6;
int column = 2;
Table table = Table.newTable(document, row, column);
table.setTableName("BigFive" + y);
if (table != null)
{
long width = 170;
table.setWidth(width);
table.setVerticalMargin(0.1, 0.1);
}
List<Row> rows = table.getRowList();
for (int x = 1; x < rows.size(); x++)
{
rows.get(x).setHeight(22f, true);
}
for (int i = 0; i < rows.size(); i++)
{
Cell cell = table.getCellByPosition(0, i);
if (i == 0)
{
cell.setStringValue(person.getItem(i));
}
else
{
cell.setTextWrapped(true);
cell.setStringValue(person.getItem(i));
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error in " + e);
}
}
}
