TableColumn Class

A table column in a slide table.

Declaration

public class TableColumn extends PresentationObject

Remarks

Follow the steps below to create a table and add it to a slide:

1. Create a Table object:
   • Specify the number of rows and columns.
   • Set table position and size. Values are measured in Document units (1/300 inch).
2. Add the table to the slide’s shapes.

Use the Table.getThis(row, column) method to access cells.

The TableCell.setTextArea() method specifies cell text.

Note

Cells support only text content.

The following code snippet creates a 3x3 table:

Java

// Create a presentation.
try(Presentation presentation = new Presentation()) {
    // Gets the first slide.
    Slide slide = presentation.getSlides().getFirst();

    // Create a 3x3 table and define its position and size.
    Table table = new Table(3, 3, 100, 100);
    table.setHasHeaderRow(false);       // Disable the header row style.
    table.setWidth(1600);               // Set the table width.

    // Populate table cells with row/column coordinates.
    for (int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex < table.getRows().size(); rowIndex++) {
        for (int colIndex = 0; colIndex < table.getColumns().size(); colIndex++) {
            table.getThis(rowIndex, colIndex)
                    .getTextArea()
                    .setText(String.format("(%d, %d)", rowIndex, colIndex));
        }
    }

    // Add the table to the slide.
    slide.getShapes().add(table);

    // Your additional implementation goes here.
}
