mlreportgen.dom.TableEntry Class

Namespace: mlreportgen.dom

Description

Specifies the content and style of a table entry.

Tip

To specify formatting for all table entries in a table, use the TableEntriesStyle property of the Table or FormalTable object. For example, you can set border formatting.

import mlreportgen.dom.*
t = Table(magic(5));
t.TableEntriesStyle = {Border('solid','black','1')};

Properties you set for a TableEntry object take precedence over TableEntriesStyle format objects.

The mlreportgen.dom.TableEntry class is a handle class.

Creation

Description

entryObj = TableEntry creates an empty table entry.

entryObj = TableEntry(text) creates a table entry using the specified text. The constructor creates a text object and appends it to the table entry. In Microsoft® Word and PDF output, text in a table entry is wrapped in a paragraph because Word and PDF do not permit unwrapped text in table entries. In HTML output, the text is not wrapped in a paragraph.

entryObj = TableEntry(text,styleName) creates a table entry containing specified text using the specified style.

entryObj = TableEntry(domObj) creates a table entry containing domObj, where domObj is a DOM object such as an mlreportgen.dom.Paragraph object.
