Feature Request - Row spanning #5

Closed Selikoff closed 5 years ago

Selikoff commented 6 years ago

Love the tool, but it would be helpful if it had row spanning. The idea is that a cell could span two or more rows, with alignment of top/middle/bottom for the text that in it. Would also be helpful if text within could be broken across multiple lines.

Thanks @Selikoff for the request; I currently don't have much time to develop besides work, so I cannot promise anything, but your plea is heard ;)

vandeseer commented 6 years ago

Row spanning is now implemented. Not yet though: vertical alignment and breaking text across multiple lines.

vandeseer commented 5 years ago

Breaking text is implemented, and vertical alignment is now tracked in this issue: https://github.com/vandeseer/easytable/issues/9

Thanks for this library. I can't seem to understand how row spanning works. Can you point me to the methods I should use? Thanks!

vandeseer commented 5 years ago

Hey @egoossens, row spanning is indeed implemented but not yet released ... ;)

It is still in the development branch: https://github.com/vandeseer/easytable/tree/develop (you will also find an example in the README, or just look here: https://github.com/vandeseer/easytable/blob/develop/src/test/java/org/vandeseer/integrationtest/ExcelLikeExampleTest.java#L117) – but I think I will release again in the next days (or weeks). If you want to use it right now you would need to check out that branch and mvn clean install it yourself.

Hope this helps! :)

Thanks for getting back @vandeseer. I'm looking forward to the next release then (I'm having trouble using the develop branch in my Gradle project).

vandeseer commented 5 years ago

The release should be out now, version 0.4.0 @egoossens. I hope everything works as expected, let me know in case it does not. If you create some nice tables that you think are worth sharing, please also let me know ;)

Thanks @vandeseer! Seems to work as intended... Nice work!
