Package org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.data

Class AutomaticSpanningDataProvider

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.data.AutomaticSpanningDataProvider
All Implemented Interfaces:
IDataProvider, ISpanningDataProvider, IPersistable
public class AutomaticSpanningDataProvider extends Object implements ISpanningDataProvider, IPersistable
This implementation of ISpanningDataProvider will automatically span cells if the containing cell values are equal. It supports configuration whether the automatic spanning should be performed for columns or rows. It is even possible to configure which columns/rows should be checked for auto spanning.

It wraps the IDataProvider that is used for providing the data to the NatTable, so it is possible to use existing code and enhance it easily with the auto spanning feature.

To use the auto spanning feature you simply need to exchange the DataLayer in your layer composition with the SpanningDataLayer and wrap the existing IDataProvider with this AutomaticSpanningDataProvider.

Note:
Mixing of automatic column and row spanning could cause several rendering issues if there can be no rectangle build out of matching cell values. If a mixing is needed, a more complicated calculation algorithm need to be implemented that checks every columns and row by building the spanning cell for the matching rectangle. As this would be quite time consuming calculations, this is not supported out of the box by NatTable.

    • addAutoSpanningColumnPositions

      public void addAutoSpanningColumnPositions(Integer... columnPositions)
      Configures the given column positions for auto spanning. This means that the rows in the given columns will be automatically spanned if the content is equal. Setting column positions for auto spanning will cause that the rows in all other columns won't be auto spanned anymore.
      Parameters:
      columnPositions - The column positions to add for auto spanning.

    • addAutoSpanningRowPositions

      public void addAutoSpanningRowPositions(Integer... rowPositions)
      Configures the given row positions for auto spanning. This means that the columns in the given rows will be automatically spanned if the content is equal. Setting row positions for auto spanning will cause that the columns in all other rows won't be auto spanned anymore.
      Parameters:
      rowPositions - The row positions to add for auto spanning.

    • removeAutoSpanningColumnPositions

      public void clearAutoSpanningColumnPositions()
      Clears the list of column positions for which auto spanning rows is enabled. Note that clearing the list and leaving the autoRowSpan flag set to true will cause that on all columns the row spanning will be performed.

    • clearAutoSpanningRowPositions

      public void clearAutoSpanningRowPositions()
      Clears the list of row positions for which auto spanning columns is enabled. Note that clearing the list and leaving the autoColumnSpan flag set to true will cause that on all rows the column spanning will be performed.
