    • TextHelpAppendable

      Constructs an appendable filter built on top of the specified underlying appendable.

  • Method Details

    • indexOfWrap

      public static int indexOfWrap(CharSequence text, int width, int startPos)
      Finds the next text wrap position after startPos for the text in text with the column width width. The wrap point is the last position before startPos+width having a whitespace character (space, \n, \r). If there is no whitespace character before startPos+width, it will return startPos+width.
      Parameters:
      text - The text being searched for the wrap position
      width - width of the wrapped text
      startPos - position from which to start the lookup whitespace character
      Returns:
      position on which the text must be wrapped or @{code text.length()} if the wrap position is at the end of the text.
    • systemOut

      protected static TextHelpAppendable systemOut()
      Creates a new TextHelpAppendable on System.out.
      Returns:
      a new TextHelpAppendable on System.out.
    • adjustTableFormat

      Adjusts the table format.

      Given the width of the page and the size of the table attempt to resize the columns to fit the page width if necessary. Adjustments are made as follows:

      • The minimum size for a column may not be smaller than the length of the column header
      • The maximum size is set to the maximum of the length of the header or the longest line length.
      • If the total size of the columns is greater than the page wight, adjust the size of VARIABLE columns to attempt reduce the width to the the maximum size.

      Note: it is possible for the size of the columns to exceed the declared page width. In this case the table will extend beyond the desired page width.

      Parameters:
      table - the table to adjust.
      Returns:
      a new TableDefinition with adjusted values.
