public class QTextTable
extends QTextFrame

The QTextTable class represents a table in a QTextDocument. A table is a group of cells ordered into rows and columns. Each table contains at least one row and one column. Each cell contains a block, and is surrounded by a frame.

Tables are usually created and inserted into a document with the QTextCursor::insertTable() function. For example, we can insert a table with three rows and two columns at the current cursor position in an editor using the following lines of code:

        QTextCursor cursor = new QTextCursor(editor.textCursor());

        cursor.movePosition(QTextCursor.MoveOperation.Start);
    
QTextTable table = cursor.insertTable(rows, columns, tableFormat);
The table format is either defined when the table is created or changed later with setFormat().

The table currently being edited by the cursor is found with QTextCursor::currentTable(). This allows its format or dimensions to be changed after it has been inserted into a document.

A table's size can be changed with resize(), or by using insertRows(), insertColumns(), removeRows(), or removeColumns(). Use cellAt() to retrieve table cells.

The starting and ending positions of table rows can be found by moving a cursor within a table, and using the rowStart() and rowEnd() functions to obtain cursors at the start and end of each row.

Rows and columns within a QTextTable can be merged and split using the mergeCells() and splitCell() functions. However, only cells that span multiple rows or columns can be split. (Merging or splitting does not increase or decrease the number of rows and columns.)



Suppose we have a 2x3 table of names and addresses. To merge both columns in the first row we invoke mergeCells() with row = 0, column = 0, numRows = 1 and numColumns = 2.
        table.mergeCells(0, 0, 1, 2);
    


This gives us the following table. To split the first row of the table back into two cells, we invoke the splitCell() function with numRows and numCols = 1.
        table.splitCell(0, 0, 1, 1);
    


This results in the original table.

Method Detail

cellAt

public final QTextTableCell cellAt(QTextCursor c)
Returns the table cell containing the given cursor.


cellAt

public final QTextTableCell cellAt(int position)
Returns the table cell that contains the character at the given position in the document.


cellAt

public final QTextTableCell cellAt(int row,
                                   int col)
Returns the table cell at the given row and column in the table.

See also:
columns(), and rows().


columns

public final int columns()
Returns the number of columns in the table.

See also:
rows().


tableFormat

public final QTextTableFormat tableFormat()
Returns the table's format.

See also:
setFormat().


insertColumns

public final void insertColumns(int pos,
                                int num)
Inserts a number of columns before the column with the specified index.

See also:
insertRows(), resize(), removeRows(), and removeColumns().


insertRows

public final void insertRows(int pos,
                             int num)
Inserts a number of rows before the row with the specified index.
